Re: Restrict Restore option of File Shadow Copies ?

Hi,

I have installed the File shadow copies on my SBS but I would like to
know if there is a way to restrict which users will be able to restore
files from their computers;

Indeed, actually any users would easily restore a shared folder with
this option and it is quite dangerous;

How can I do to protect my shared folders from this king of mistakes ?
(My users have read and write access to most of the shared folders).

Thank you for your help :)

Bye

You can either disable their ability to do anything in there (uninstalling the VSS client would be one way) or you can simply prevent them from clicking the Restore button....that way, they can still open the snapshots, browse to files they want, and copy them, but they can't accidentally restore an entire shared folder to a previous version (which would annoy co-workers). I like leaving shadow copy access enabled for users, because it means the users don't have to call me when they lose a Word document.

Thank you , it could be a solution to hide the Restore option :)
