    Yes - to initiate backup from the client is called 'User Backup'.

    You need to create a policy (or modify existing) to add User Backup schedule with open window during which client will be allowed to start backup. 

    Backup Selection is ignored for this schedule type - client needs to open BAR GUI and select files/folders or else use bpbackup command from cmd or in a script to specify files/folders.

    Restores from client is allowed by default  - use BAR GUI on the client or use bprestore.

    See NetBackup Commands Reference Guide   for command usage.
