Maintaining Security for End-User Recovery

Published : April 8, 2005 | Updated : August 17, 2005

Use only domain-based security groups on file servers on which you plan to enable end-user recovery. DPM cannot guarantee consistency between end-user access to data on protected file servers and end-user access to shadow copies of that data on the DPM server if you rely on local security groups.

For example, if the set of users included in the file server’s local Users group differs from the set of users included in the DPM server’s local users group, then different sets of users will have access to the data on the file server and to the shadow copies of that data.
