[BackupPC-users] How to Prevent Users Starting a Backup

[<sa...@nt...>]

Is it possible to stop a user from manually taking a full and/or incremental backup?  I have tried setting $Conf{MaxUserBackups} = 0; but this does not achieve the goal.

Why do this?  I have a network in which all user home directories are stored on a dedicated file-server and therefore not stored locally on each PC.  The backups of the file-server are conducted using the schedule facility of BackupPC. This setup is working well.  To make it simpler for each user it will be preferred if they were able to conduct only restores.

I am not a "coder" and anything beyond "commenting out" may be beyond my ability.  However, if anyone has any simple suggestions I am willing to test them.
