Jim,

Yes, but...
The sql table for backups is very large and selects against it are very
resource intensive.
If it is possible to do, the Client query backup command is more
efficient.

You did not say what version of TSM Server and what OS you have.

Subject: [ADSM-L] querying client backups from the server?

Is there some way (SQL or otherwise) to get the effect of running 'dsmc
query backup /some/path' on a client, but actually running the command
on the TSM server instead?
