106 NetBackup User’s Guide - Microsoft Windows
A
Free Browse
The Free Browse feature allows users without restore privileges to restore from
scheduled backups. In previous versions of NetBackup, when a scheduled
backup was performed by a system administrator using a root user id, the client
user was not able to restore from that backup. The Free Browse feature allows
the user to use a scheduled backup to restore files. The user will be able to
restore only those files to which they have write access.
There are three different settings - Use, Deny, and Allow.
• When the client is set to Use, the user will be allowed to browse scheduled
backups if the NetBackup server is set to Allow or Use.
• When the client is set to Deny, the user will not be allowed to browse
backups no matter how the NetBackup server is configured.
• If the client is set to Allow, the user will be able to browse scheduled
backups if the NetBackup server is set to Use.
The NetBackup master server setting is configured using the
bpclient
command.
Note: By default, the NetBackup master server setting is set to Allow.
