These days there are a variety of people that must participate in configuring and using backup and recovery software. In larger enterprises it is not unusual for help desk staff to approach dozens of individuals. Often these personnel need to be given some authority over data recovery operations.
It is wise to choose a backup program that lets you delegate authority to individuals, as long as it provides a fine level of granularity. If your backup and recovery system does not have a fine level of granularity then you are exposed to the possibility of recovery abuses. Most backup and recovery packages have the concept of administrators. These administrators often have global privileges and can recover anyone's data. This might include highly sensitive data, such as payroll or financial records.
Amanda Enterprise takes a better approach. It lets you create roles for each operator, limiting what data they have access to. This lets you segregate sensitive data to ensure that only those with an absolute need to recover the data have the ability to do so.
