Don't know myself, but someone else posted a while back that the System
State on Vista is many GB.
That is consistent with what you are seeing - a scheduled backup will do the
System State, whether things have changed or not. And selecting the C:
drive will not do the system state.
As a test, try your backup from thh GUI again, but this time select System
STate as well as the C: drive, see if the results change...
And please post back the results!
