So, we all seem to agree that the Windows 2008 SystemState is very large (seems to be about 6GB on a fresh 2008 R2 installation), but is there anything we can do about it? It looks like it does a FUL
Just a thought, and I'm sure you'll already have been over this, but do the recovery scenarios for which you employ TSM for protection require the SystemState etc to be backed-up/recovered? In some s

Wanda, My calculations Current Windows = 3 Gb in c$; new Windows = 15 Gb in c$. That's installed out of the box. If we collocated by filespace, the $c tape would hold about 250 clients from current W

Have yuo tried to use TSM Client 6.1.2 for Windows (just anonced)? There is quite serious improvement for SYSTEMSTATE. So, we all seem to agree that the Windows 2008 SystemState is very large (seems

What do you mean saing "full backup"? If you check "dsmc query systemstate -inactive -detail", you will see that all backups are full. But full has relationship with VSS writes in Windows and it has
