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.
