Hi Steven

Is password protecting the media/session not enough? Do members of the super 
users group need to be able to add/modify the jobs, or just be able to run 
them? Most backup software can work with any user that has Read permissions for 
the backup target, and can incorporate password level protection for the 
session or media which is needed for a restore. Unsure how this holds up to a 
brute force attack though.

I am looking for a backup software that only the Superusers could use
to backup, but only the administrator could restore. That way nobody
could bring data out from the office and I wouldn't need to do
regularly backup on the user computer.
May be the backup should be done with a private and public key.
If anybody has a good idea, it would be very appreciated.
thank you
Steven Meyer
