Retrospect has an option to export a report after each backup job.
After each night's backup jobs, Retrospect exports the backup report to
tab-delimited files. The IP addresses of the clients are in the report, in
one of the last columns.
Each morning, I've got a scheduled batch file (on NT) that FTPs the reports
from the Mac Retrospect servers (I run NetPresenz on the Retrospect servers)
and appends them to a growing report.
When asked to restore a machine, I use a simple "find" command in a batch
file to search the big report file and pop up in a text file the matches.
This makes it really easy to determine when a machine was last backed up,
and which tapes to retrieve from off-site storage.

Subject: IP numbers on clients
I'm wondering if there's a way to see what IP # the client is using
from within Retrospect? It would be a useful administration tool, and
save me running around physically to make a subnet map.
If there is no way currently, I'd like to make a feature request that
the IP# be shown in the network window for logged-in clients.
