The 5.2 (and higher) client uses Microsoft's Volume Snapshot Services 
(VSS) for backing up Windows 2003 system state and system services, 
whereas the 5.1 client uses the Microsoft "legacy" API functions. The two 
methods are incompatible and cannot be converted between each other. Since 
the SYSTEM OBJECT file space is still restorable by the 5.2 client, the 
5.3 client does not delete that file space. Once you have been running the 
5.3 client for a period time, you can delete the old SYSTEM OBJECT file 
space at your discretion.

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
