Avamar backup and restore by only specific user,
Hi All,
We have a request from our security team which is as follows, Which is only for one particular client.
- A specific user to be able to backup
- When a restore is required, it should prompt for credentials (to begin the restore)

As I know there is no way can meets your both requirements as above. But you can use Avamar Desktop/Laptop feature with LDAP to backup and restore clients individually. For details, you can refer CHAPTER 20 Avamar Desktop/Laptop of EMC Avamar 6.1 Administration Guide.
Hope this helpful.

Hi Leo,
Many thanks buddy. This does not suit our requirement (one off server).
Is there any way to do so ?

If the server is UNIX, you could build a simple wrapper script that could be executed from the command line with setuid. It would take some work, but might get a working solution for you.

I have never set this up - but I recall reading - that if you set the client into its own avamar domain (that folder vew on the left of the admin window) you can then setup user security to ONLY be able to handle (do stuff with) that client in that domain.
so like
avamarserver.mydomain.com
+NDMP
+cluster
+specialdomain
that one clinet
+vms
the set the security for that user(s) to be able to do a restore or backup of just the servers in specialdomain.
other than that you would need to setup reporting to tell you who did a restore or backup - so long as each user logs in with their own credentials.
I have a report that shows me restores and who did them.
not sure if any of that would fit into your needs but it is someplace to start looking.
