Complements for EUR

For those of you who uses EUR I had received some questions regarding how it works etc.

EUR is the functionality that was presented in DPM 2006. This is the ability to let the end-users restore files from file shares using shadow copy function and interaction with DPM.
EUR is based on your NTFS rights on that share. There are some nice complements that Mike Jacquete posted on the DPM forum.


Disable restore Button
This functionality prevents a client from overwriting the current version of a file with an earlier version of the file. The client can only copy the earlier version of a file to an alternative location.
To do this, type either of the following commands at the command prompt, and then press ENTER

REG ADD HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer /v NoPreviousVersionsRestore /t REG_DWORD /d 1
REG ADD HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer /v NoPreviousVersionsRestore /t REG_DWORD /d 1

You can add the DWORD registry entry as part of a user's logon script.

We recommend that you add the DWORD entry to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subkey. We recommend this for the following reasons:
• The HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subkey is not overwritten by policy updates.
• The HKEY_CURRENT_USER subkey can be written to by logon scripts that are using nonadministrator permissions.

Disable the Previous Versions tab
To disable the Previous Versions tab on individual client computers, follow these steps:
Type either of the following commands at the command prompt, and then press ENTER:

REG ADD HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer /v NoPreviousVersionsPage /t REG_DWORD /d 1
REG ADD HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer /v NoPreviousVersionsPage /t REG_DWORD /d 1
