I set this up for a client once.  We were mixing together Windows,
Novell, and Linux.  Suffice it to say that the so-called support
people at CA in the UK were just about useless.

>From what I recall, the problem was basically that ARCServe uses the
portmapper, which means that you need to keep that port open to the
public.  I've always understood this to be a massive security risk,
particularly on a publicly visible machine.  But that's what CA
requires.  Once we opened up ipchains/iptables for RPC (port 111),
everything worked fine.

I also seem to remember ARCServe producing no useful error messages
until the entire backup was attempted.  This was my first and only
encounter to date with CA, and it was rather negative.

Best of luck!
