Hi.

We have made two schedules for 2008 client. 1. which contains data: runs 1x 
full, 6x incremental and 2. which contains *SYSTEM* savesets: runs 1x full in 
week.
That reduces backup data a lot and system sets doesn't change so much, that you 
can't use ~week old files for recover.

Hello,

I am just starting to backup Windows Server 2008 systems using Networker 
7.4 SP4. The Save set: is "All". When doing incremental backups, even 
with no activity on the host between backups, I always get a HUGE 
saveset for the VSS SYSTEM FILESET:\.

server.name.ca: VSS SYSTEM FILESET:\ level=full, 11 GB 01:10:01  73151 files

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a workaround? Getting 11 GB 
of data on every incremental backup really adds up over time.

Thanks,

Mark
