Restore: Additional considerationsThis section discusses some advanced considerations for restoring data. You do notneed to understand this information to use Tivoli Storage Manager for basic work.Authorizing another user to restore or retrieve your filesYou can authorize another user on the same workstation or a different workstationto restore backup versions or retrieve archive copies of your files. This permits youto share files with other people or with other workstations that you use with adifferent node name. To authorize a user on another workstation to restore orretrieve your files, the other workstation must be running one of the UNIX clientsand must be registered with your Tivoli Storage Manager server.To authorize another user to restore or retrieve your files:1.

In the Filespace and Directory field, select the file space and the directory thatthe user can access. You can select one file space and one directory at a time.If you want to give the user access to another file space or directory, you mustcreate another access rule.7. If you want to limit the user to specific files in the directory, type the name orpattern of the files on the server that the other user can access in the Filenamefield. You can make only one entry in the Filename field. It can either be asingle file name or a pattern which matches one or more files. You can use awildcard character as part of the pattern. Your entry must match files thathave been stored on the server.8.

Click the OK button to save the access rule and close the Add Access Rulewindow.10. The access rule that you created is displayed in the list box in the NodeAccess List window. When you have finished working with the Node AccessList window, click the OK button. If you do not want to save your changes,click Cancel or close the window.On the command line client, use the set access command to authorize anothernode to restore or retrieve your files. You can also use the query access commandto see your current list, and delete access to delete nodes from the list.
