The DISASTER_RECOVERY: saveset includes things the system *thinks* are 
necessary On my Lotus Domino server (Notes email), it thinks drive E: 
(where the mailstore is) is a "system critical" file.

So that part of the DISASTER_RECOVERY saveset is like 400G+.

Look at what Windows thinks are the system files; see if it's pulling in 
anything from another drive ..

1.. Use "diskshadow /l writers.log" to start diskshadow and direct output 
to a 
log file.
2. From the DISKSHADOW> prompt run "list writers detailed".
3. Exit diskshadow.
