I should look into ZRPC. And on how to do cron on NT (sigh :). Perhaps arcserve can start a little script before it starts to do the backup. I don't know much about arcserve (I didn't install it), and I should delve further tomorrow in exactly *what* is failing.
Arcserve has options to run scripts prior to and after each backup/restore/copy session ;-) BTW, arcserve HATES doing backups of open files even when files are opened O_RDONLY. The arcserve job queue actually can be used as a nice scheduling system for servers when you leave the real job empty and only use before/after backup scripts. -- <- Ronald Offerman | ron@offerman.cx <- Root Powered Carrot Munchers Ltd.
