I did an install last week of a product called 'DB Agent', onto a Netware 3.11 server. I believe this is probaly the same product with a different name. DB Agent switches tablespaces into backup mode before ArcServe takes it's backups, as well as taking backups of logs and control files at the end.

I hope to test the recovery side of things this week - until then I won't know how reliable it is, although it looks like it's doing the right things.
