Unauthorized BFS Directories

CA VM:Backup may display directories on the Select Directories from Which to Restore screen that you are not authorized to restore from. Unauthorized directories are directories that did not contain files owned by your user ID in the default or specified time period. When CA VM:Backup displays these directories, they are not highlighted and you cannot type in the Req column next to the directory to select it.

In the following example, the directory 'sales_goals' is not highlighted and cannot be selected.

Unauthorized directories are directories that did not contain files owned by your user ID in the default or specified time period. However, CA VM:Backup might have backed up files owned by your user ID from subdirectories of the unauthorized directory.

In the above example, the end user is not authorized to restore from the 'sales_goals' directory because CA VM:Backup did not back up files owned by the end user from this directory. However, the end user is authorized to restore files from the subdirectories of the 'sales_goals' directory
