Hello,
Is there a file scan or virus scanner type of program running on the 
server daily, that could change the archive bit of the client every day ? 
which files are backed up, have you tried restoring them to check, if they 
indeed changed or not ?
What is the total size on the server file system, which windows partition 
are this file on ?also, look into the patch mentioned below.
Thanks

Re: Windows Server 2008 with 7.4 SP4 - VSS SYSTEM FILESET:\






We've seen > 200GB "VSS SYSTEM FILESET"'s.  After working with EMC for 
eight months they came out with a 7.4.3 and 7.4.4 fix.  The fix was 
LGTsc20343.  Our saveset's are now under 1GB :-)
