I have had a great deal of success using AFbackup
(http://www.afbackup.org/).  While it will probably not be able to
interpret tapes used under Arcserve, it works quite well on Linux and
Solaris 8/SPARC to make full and incremental backups across a local area
network.  We use it at work to keep a central repository of backups, and I
use it on my LAN at home for the same purpose.
