Log into the Adaptive Server and issue a LOAD DATABASE command there.

Dump/Load commands are issued from a connection to the ASE server itself.  The ASE Server then communicates to the backup server to do the dump/load. 

The system admin guide would be a good place to start.

there is no reason to "connect" to backup server, it has no language handler.  All communication to backup server is done by ASE to do database backups/restores.  What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
