You can get ArcServe to automatically call a batch (*.bat) file for you. This file will contain calls to sqldba (or svrmgr) which are passed sql scripts as parameters. Look at the command syntax for sqldba/svrmgr. Make sure you spool the output of these commands, so you have something to look at and check each morning.

No info. on this. Sorry. It *may* be part of Oracle Enterprise Backup? Check with your Oracle and ArcServe resellers.
