Creating a client and the first backup have some relaition but after the 
creation of a client  itself , that tells you not much about any possible 
backups. Why not scan all clients regularly, say each day' and produce the 
list of new clients in the backup (mminfo) pool.

in unix glue:

(
        cat yesterdays_list_of_clients
        mminfo -s SERVER  -a -rclient | sort -u | tee todays_list_of_clients
) |
sort |
uniq -u

mv todays_list_of_clients yesterdays_list_of_clients

Hope this helps , maarten
