My first thought is, give them a shared filesystem with snapshots so that's not necessary. :-) My second thought is that Bacula has restricted consoles: http://www.bacula.org/7.0.x-manuals/en/main/Console_Configuration.html By default, a restricted console has no privileges at all, so you can give only the access it needs. I've never done such things, however, so I can't vouch for its operation. -- Paul Heinlein heinlein at madboa.com 45°38' N, 122°6' W
