Hmm I can't answer for sure whether a server counts as a client if you back it up to itself. I assume so..
But installing the ba client on the server to use the dsmadmc program and actually backing up the server to itself (so to speak) are two different things. You don't use a client license simply because you installed the product at the OS level. You use a client license when you define a node in TSM and actually back up regularly to it.

But I wouldn't recommend it. Shouldn't be any real reason not to install dsmadmc on the server.

And they are working fine. But one problem I have is: I closed the server console window after I started the server. And now I cannot re-open it (I know I can open the console at the client machine by using "dsmadmc -console"), but currently we do not install the backup-archive client at the server machine. Is there any other way to re-open the server console at the server machine? or dsmadmc is the only way to open the server console at the server machine? If so, does this mean I have to install a client at the server machine? thanks Fred Zhang
