Hi Samuel:

I have seen this accomplished in a Remote Desktop/Terminal Server deployment. From their local computer the user doesn't have any access to the Softrak data or application. IT puts a RemoteApp icon on their desktop. That icon logs into the server, starts the Adagio application and then logs out of the server when the Adagio application is closed.

Under this approach the user never sees a desktop on the server and therefore does not have the ability to browse the Softrak data or application folders. It's not 100% airtight however as there are some functions in Adagio that will allow the user to browse the folder structure. This is the issue that Softrak was able to solve in the Adagio Cloud deployment.

Having said that, in 20 years I've never had a user deliberately or accidentally delete any files that they shouldn't have. It makes sense to seriously consider the issue but I think the likelihood is low and the resolution (restoring a backup) has become relatively easy thanks to backup software that often runs several times per day and Adagio's new backup options.
