Ok and thanks for your answer Andy.

It makes me curious.. Why and when would I use SYSTEM OBJECT in a w2k3
restore with a 5.2 client. It got to be a reason why that possibility still
exist?
Documentations only mentions restore systemstate/systemservices on w2k3.

The 5.2 (and higher) client uses Microsoft's Volume Snapshot Services
(VSS) for backing up Windows 2003 system state and system services,
whereas the 5.1 client uses the Microsoft "legacy" API functions. The two
methods are incompatible and cannot be converted between each other. Since
the SYSTEM OBJECT file space is still restorable by the 5.2 client, the
5.3 client does not delete that file space. Once you have been running the
5.3 client for a period time, you can delete the old SYSTEM OBJECT file
space at your discretion.
