I guess these are workstation users that don't see the bill, since
server administrators know what they are doing and know how the
backups work.
I'd think that there is an underlying problem, maybe because restores
from the servers take a long time, because somebody at the helpdesk
has to do it and is overloaded and the user wants his restore now? You
really need to find out why.
As to the technical problem: write a policy and just cancel the TSM
accounts for the users who don't respect it. It's the best way. There
is no centrally managed way.
