In your case you have SQL server backup and "flat file" system backup.
If you want to backup SQL db you will need SQL option for your master server.
As far as the flat file system backup u r right. It needs only the client
software but any open file like SQL db files you will not be able to backup.
without the option for SQL. It is separate license.

Here is example of SQL backup configuration:
Example:

OPERATION BACKUP
DATABASE $ALL
SQLHOST "name of your client server exactly how it is in client properties"
NBSERVER "name on your master server in CAPITAL LETTERS"
MAXTRANSFERSIZE 0
BLOCKSIZE 0
ENDOPER TRUE

This script you have to put it on the client in:
C:\Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\DbExt\MsSql\XXXXXX.bch

If you have problems read the admin guide for SQL db - specificly db autorization
I hope this will help
