Hi Brett,

I encountered the same problem when installing 7.3.3 
Every savegroup in which the Networker server is one of the clients, will 
backup its bootstrap info, even when the schedule says to skip that day.
I created a EMC service request (Request ID 18391570), but got the answer 
that this was just correct behaviour. They suggested to create a RFE to get 
this changed.
