Well... you are starting a NEW thread without saying as much in your subject
line;;; but, I'll answer anyway --- BUT the details will be left as an
exercise for the student.

Just write a menu program that (a) prevents escape to command-line, and (b)
invokes dsmc under the user's ID with the menu prompt for filespec -- as in
"dsmc restore %1"... the user can restore only files he has sufficient
rights to write/create.  Lots of shops have done this;  some do it to
prevent the TSM admin from doing anything else under root authority (sigh:()

Hi,

I just upgraded our server to 5.1. I'm still missing
quotas for client backup and archive space.
And I'm still looking for a possibility to allow
clients to restore their data but not to do backups.
We backup our /home filesystem at night, but we want
to allow our users to restore the files in their
homedirectories themselves without doing backups or
creating archives. Networker always had different client
programs for backup and restore.

Regards,
