Based on what your user considers "instant" there are few techniques that
you could use:

If hourly backups are sufficient, you could set up a schedule to perform an
hourly incremental backups on the user's workstation.  This is the simplest
approach.

If the user truly requires 'instant' backups, you could write a script to
monitor the file systems or directories that  he is interested in and have
it issue an ADSM backup command each time a file is created or modified.
 This technique requires a little more effort.

Another possible solution would be to write a script to backend selected
commands and issue an ADSM backup command after the completion of these
commands that create or modify files.  This technique would also require
some effort.
