Retrieving log files from remote servers

Hello,

I have a dumb question.I am trying to find a way to consolidate the log files from a backup application (Arcserve) on about 18+ remote servers.

I would like either download the files daily (after backups have finished) and analyse them for errors or do a diff check to see what has happened since last backup.I am just trying to make the process of checking these daily logs easier instead of mapping the remote drives and opening the files across the network.

Anyone have any suggestions ? FTP is out due to security policy,I have an administration account across the domain.Would like an app that I can execute from my desktop rather resining on individual servers.

Thanks in advance.
