[Networker] RE [Networker] "SYSTEM DB" and "SYSTEM STATE" in Windows

Hi,

If you look at the NetWorker administration guide you will have the 
explaination of what is exactly the SYSTEM DB saveset ( to resume it is 
all system databases : CIS, disk quota database, etc...
concerning full backup for those saveset even if the job is incremental is 
for consistency, SYSTEM DB and SYSTEM STATE are always backuped at full 
level, this also is the documentation.

Regards.
Jeremie

[Networker] "SYSTEM DB" and "SYSTEM STATE" in Windows






I noticed that all the Windows clients had their "SYSTEM DB" and "SYSTEM 
STATE" being backed up every day, even the backups were incremental. And 
some of the client even had "SYSTEM DB" for 25 GB daily, even it should be 
incremental.
Here's one example:

03/12/08 13:52:36 savegrp: test-pc:probe succeeded.
test-pc:C:\                    level=incr, dn=4, mx=1, vers=ssbrowse, p=4
test-pc:SYSTEM STATE:\         level=incr, dn=3, mx=1, vers=ssbrowse, p=4
test-pc:SYSTEM DB:\            level=incr, dn=2, mx=1, vers=ssbrowse, p=4
test-pc:SYSTEM FILES:\         level=incr, dn=1, mx=1, vers=ssbrowse, p=4
test-pc:ASR:\                  level=incr, dn=0, mx=1, vers=ssbrowse, p=4
...
  test-pc: SYSTEM STATE:\       level=full,     52 MB 00:03:57     18 
files
  test-pc: ASR:\                level=full,   1151 KB 00:04:07     12 
files
  test-pc: SYSTEM DB:\          level=full,     25 GB 00:45:56    119 
files
...

What's in "SYSTEM DB" in fact?
Why the "SYSTEM DB" in all Windows boxes running FULL backup jobs everyday 
even I run incremental backup for the systems?

Thanks a lot!
