Thanks Warren, You can get a demo of the product off the Computer Associates web site at www.ca.com there's a link at the bottom to BrightStor ARCServe Backup 9 evaluation, and there's then a link to "BrightStor ARCserve Backup v9 for Linux" from there. I've tried the tar ball (which contains the install with rpms) from there are well as the one on the CD (which appears to be identical). If you can't find it I can make the tar ball available for you to download.
