> What other features could be removed from NetWorker ?

The easy, simple, direct answer is none. Every feature has its uses and
adherents. The closest analogy I can think of is the U.S. Congress
trying to cut the budget. Where do you cut? Urban Congressmen say to cut
farm subsidies and rural Congressmen say to cut mass transit subsidies.
Feature removals are fine until your own oxen are gored.

My understanding is that Microsoft considers the VSS API more like a 
feature,
to be used to backup online system state and applications (open files) ?

But assuming you don't want 'online system state backup', and you want 
to use
'offline system state backup', and assuming you don't want to backup 
open files,
and just want to make a backup of files that were for example backup 
files of some other application, then you can do very well without VSS
...

Anyway, the other example I gave of a 'feature' was nsrauth.

Who really needs 'nsrauth' ?  What other features could be removed from 
NetWorker ?
