I am using AS 6.61 SP2 backing up both NetWare 3.x and NT4 servers using the client agents through IP. Occationally servers are moved and given a new IP address. I change the address of the agent in the job that backs up the server. The backup work fine, but when I restore a file to the moved server, the restore job defaults to the old IP address. I can enter the new IP address and successfully restore the file, but it is a pain. Also, our whole network is soon to be converted from Token-Ring to Fast Ethernet and all of the servers will be given new IP addresses. A restore nightmare.

Is there a file that I can clear where the old IP address is stored? The only solution that I can think of is to rebuild the backup servers and start with a fresh database and set of jobs.

Does any one have a solution?
