    Thanks for you reply.

    It further means TSM has its special mechanism of taking SQl backups and its not using any SQL native tsql backup commands for sql db backups.So in server we have to have TSM client which can only restore TSM sql backups.

    Please confirm.

    Any TSM links on this will help me a lot.

    Regards,

    TSM (I guess you mean TDPSQL) uses the Virtual Backup Device Interface to "mount" a custom backup device implemented by the backup tool itself. However, the T-SQL command used is always BACKUP DATABASE.

    Long story short, you need to install the TDPSQL client.
