To the best of my knowledge, the ONLY time you have to worry about IP
addresses is if and only if you used the machines' ip addresses to add them
to the retrospect client database.
If you added machines to the database by IP NAME or using Retrospect's
client browser, then you're OK.
Incidentally, I occasionally run into an issue where a client's IP address
changed (in DHCP and WINS), but the DNS server doesn't know about it yet.
There's a time lag from a client IP address changing and the DNS server
getting updated. So, when I click on a database entry for MACHINE-A,
sometimes MACHINE-B comes up...

Subject: Changing IP address
My company is currently using manually assigned IP addresses, but is
changing to use a DHCP server for dynamic IP addressing. Is there anything
that I need to be concerned about with respect to Retrospect? In other
words, does changing a clients IP address effect the backup process? What
are your suggestions?
Thanks,
