GSquared, what was the ultimate outcome of your discussion with CA about this issue? We have had similar problems with ARCserve during DR tests (some databases being suspect on the replica).

I've been tasked with researching alternative solutions because management is understandably nervous about the reliability of the ARCserve solution in light of this issue. Obviously, if there is something which can be done to address the issue with ARCserve then I would prefer to do that rather than architect a new HA/DR solution from scratch.
