Under the old licensing a TSM server was permitted to back itself up
without an extra license as long as it used the shared memory protocol.
This would also be true under the new licensing, since you just count
processors across the board.

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.
