We are running Networker 7.5.1 on Windows 2003 R2. We have one
Windows 2008 client, the rest are mostly W2K or W2K3 (with one
Solaris 7 system). On the W2K8 system the VSS System Fileset backs up
at level "full" while on the others the level is "skip". Every night
the size of the VSS System Fileset backup on the W2K8 system is
around 11 GB. Is this normal, it seems excessive to me. The total
used space on the C drive is around 35 GB.
Thanks and Happy New Year!

Dave,
We have the exact same problem here. And our Windows Server Support Team
has a mandate to upgrade our world to Windows Server 2008. Given that
they will be upgrading about 150 clients from Windows 2003, this is a
huge problem. This will translate into an extra 1.65 TB of data for us
every day, just from the VSS System Fileset.
We have tried everything we could over the last few months to reduce the
size of this backup, with no success. Clearly, Microsoft has made some
bad choices with this new platform.
On top of this, the current EMC client does not work if you need to do a
bare metal restore. What a mess....
