Hi Tae! Not, this is not nessesary. The API client is only used during a backup, so if no backup is running, you can replace all files during installation and no restart is required. However, I would wait a few days before starting the upgrade. The 5.3.3.0 client will be released this month.

The SET ACCESS and -FROMNODE options do not pertain to backup sets. You cannot use -FROMNODE to restore data from another node's backup sets. You must connect with the node name for which the backup set was created. Also, backup sets contain backup data only; they do not contain archive data.
