Be aware that there is an (as yet) unfixed bug in NetWorker that if you have 
quotas enabled
(and maybe some sort of grouping) that it automatically becomes part of the 
DISASTER_RECOVERY
save set - that happened on our fileserver with a 4TB data volume.  Windows 
itself (WSB) didn't
back it up, but NW's DISASTER_RECOVERY did.

We have a hotfix from EMC for that one - If you need details, feel free to ask.
