William,

   Typical ADSM clients have two distinct interfaces - Admnistrative and 
Backup/Archive.  It is not possible to backup/restore data using the 
Administrative interface.  It is possible to restore files remotely, using the 
Backup/Archive client interface.

   Remote restore operations are discussed in the ADSM "User's Guide and 
Reference for OS/2, Release 2" (SH35-0122-01) in Chapter 9 ("How Restore and 
Retrieve Services Work") beginning on page 194 ("Authorizing Another User to 
Restore Your Files").
