By default, clients accept server-directed restores of backups from other clients.
To configure a client to prevent server-directed restores of backups from other clients, use the following procedures:
For Windows and NetWare (Target and Non-Target) systems:
Click File > NetBackup Client Properties.
On the General tab, click the Allow server-dircted restores option to clear the check mark.
Click OK.
For UNIX systems:
Navigate to the bp.conf file (/usr/open/netbackup/bin/bp.conf).
Open the file with an editor and add the following line:
DISALLOW_SERVER_ FILE_WRITES
Save the file and close it.
