Mac Serial Number from Backup

I seriously doubt it, as the serial number is encoded in the hardware and thus has no need of being backed up. If you registered the machines with Apple, you may want to contact them... they might be able to supply the serial numbers.

as Thomas said, serial numbers are not recorded anywhere in the backups. getting them from apple if the computers were registered is your best bet. if they weren't registered then the best you can get from the backup is the MAC addresses of your stolen macs. a MAC address is a unique identifier of the motherboard so it might be useful for identifying the stolen computers too. although the police might not know about it. MAC addresses of the backed up computers are stored in extended attributes of backups. i can explain how to get them out but try getting serial numbers from apple first.
