You need client code - especialy API portion - TDP for R3 uses API.

You need configure DSM.OPT file for client and then you can try
dsmc
it will ask some input and show some info about server.
DSM.OPT need min. for local server
serveraddress 127.0.0.1
tcpport 1500
and set environment variables for API
DSMI_CONFIG point to DSM.OPT file you will use for API client ( TDP for R=
3 )
DSMI_DIR point to directory with DSMAMENG.TXT
DSMI_LOG point to directory where you prefer log
tsm32.dll + blkhook.dll must be in library on path

You have to install it and modify initSID.utl
Configure initSID.sap - backup_type util_file/util_file_online .... .

try to start BACKFM.exe - this will show you backup already in TSM.

Yes - you need it for restore.

Dont do any changes - but I recommend to do this on separate LAN segment.
Check server address in DSM.OPT file.

Nodename defines client to TSM server , if you restored ADSM database all
information
about nodes is in it.
