[Veritas-bu] Disable alternate client restores

[Curtis Preston]

Wow, Gabe!  While the might solve the problem, that's about the scariest
most convoluted key management system I've ever heard!  Too many keys to
lose for my tastes.

 

I have to say it again. Wow. 

 

I think the fumes from the coke plants in Philly have gotten to your
brain, dude. ;)

 

(For those playing at home, that's coal or petroleum coke (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coke_(fuel)), and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum_coke) not Cocaine or Coca-Cola,
OK?)

Enable client-side encryption (and compression) for all clients. Create
a unique key on each client, and make the administrator(s) of that
client responsible for maintaining their key (and a backup at least of
its passphrase through ANOTHER means). Exclude the key data from
backups.

 

All of those are client-side configurations.

Running 6.5.1, have been asked if it's possible to restrict the Master
server from restoring a particular client's images to alternate clients.
I know we can restrict one client from restoring another client's data;
I know I can prevent the Master from writing to a particular client.
What I haven't been able to determine is if I can keep the Master from
writing clientA's data to clientB.
