Data Protection Manager Client

Question

Hello collegues,
is there an option to install Data Protection Manager Client (not the agent itself) for DPM 2012/2012 R2? We need an option for clients to backup/restore their's data on demand with GUI interface. I saw such an application in DPM 2010, but can't
see it in 2012 options fo installation.
Regards

Hi,
Please see the below links that may assist you.

Note if needed:
The administrator of a client computer must set the name of non-admin users who have to have permissions to perform end-user recovery of protected data of a client computer. You only need to add the registry entries on
the client machines same as on DPM 2010.  The DPM 2012 DPMRA Agent should still honor the keys.
To do this, the administrator must add the following registry key and value for each of these non-admin users. This is single key that contains a comma-separated
list of client users. You do not have to add this key separately for each non-admin user. 
Registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\Agent\ClientProtection
REG_SZ: ClientOwners
Value: Names of non-admin users. This should be a comma-separated list of user names without any leading or trailing spaces, as in the following example: domain1\user1,domain1\user2,domain1\user3 (and so on)
Following blog provides detailed steps to configure DPM recovery permissions for users that are not members of the local administrators
