Hi Howard,
Well, arcserv is an older generation of backup products, which had its heyday while NetWare was still a thing. From what I hear, CA didn't do too much to keep it up to date and on the equal footing with other backup products. AFAIK, it doesn't have much of a CLI, but it does have libobk.so and Oracle agent, so you can use "backup backupset all" with a SBT channel. It all depends on your licensing agreement with CA.
