In this context (backup software) client means server, ie each server is a
client to the backup server.

The robots use fairly simply, standardized commands indeed. Vendors tend to
charge for the value of the functionality, real, percieved or otherwise.
Using an autochanger is more value, hence they charge for it.
Although unless I'm mistaken, Veritas Backup Exec includes a one drive
autochanger in the base server license. You have to license additional
drives though.
