I believe that Douglas wants the user able to restore THEIR files only (security reasons?). I can't think of a way to do this individually, especially in a secure fashion. Most organizations use a personal or home drive. My only suggestion is to request that they keep confidential information there and rely on that file server backup for recovery.
...last minute thought: unique dsm.opt files for each user (a simple matter of changing the nodename)? That would also mean using a user ID as the node name. Though, this seems like an awful lot of work. It may also create additional license requirements. Not to mention, you'd have to come up with a script that modified the dsm.opt for each user upon login. Yuk.
