Does anyone know ArcServe from Linux command line?

Does anyone know how to setup an ArcServe "rotation" job using File System Adapter...?
And on top of that, using Linux through the command line?

Thanks

One more thing the rotational jobs will be going to 2 usb drives...

Ok, 2 usb drives is no problem. actually better in Linux to use physical drive as a single FSD anyways. As for scripts there's lots of ways to do it. First, you want to use ArcServe to schedule it. You can run shell scripts as jobs in the AS scheduler. Now for the syntax... It's specific to your FSD config as far as names go. On the AS CD there's a \doc\c folder with pdfs in it. Start there with the Administration Guide.

Then post how you plan to do your rotation as in every other day, appending, etc.

Now would you know if ArcServe would need the entire drive for a one day backup or can we chop it up by folders or shares etc...
I was thinking if possible with this scenario to do full daily backups?
Thanks

Now it comes down to how you partition and manage your volumes. You can make multiple volumes on the drive. Then make each volume an FSD. That's about the only way I know to safely split the drive's space up into pieces with the Linux ArcServe. Note that I said 'safe.' You don't need separate volumes for FSDs but it's smart.

Would you happen to know anywhere where I could find out ArcServe commands to use on the CMD???
