If you specify enable_contact_info=true, you must provide information in the contact_info option.

enable_filerestore=false | true
Specify whether file owners can restore their files from a virtual machine with the Tivoli® Storage Manager file restore interface.

maximum_mount_points=num_mount_points
Specify the maximum number of simultaneous recovery points that are available to the user account. The minimum value is 1 recovery point. The maximum value is 256 mount points. The default value is 2 mount points.
Tip: To prevent a virtual machine from being mounted multiple times for simultaneous restore operations, set this option with a low value.

Specify the amount of time, in minutes, that a restore and the mounted recovery point can be idle before the session is canceled. A cancellation unmounts the recovery point. The maximum value is 8 hours (480 minutes). The default value is 30 minutes.
Tip: To prevent the session from being canceled unexpectedly, increase the number of minutes.

Use the restore activity window to view error information and recently completed tasks. This information provides a way to locate recently restored files. The maximum value is 14 days (336 hours). The default value is one week (168 hours).
