No, not huge, but still, seems a bit odd, assuming it's truly
incremental - when I do incr on 2003 server using NW 7.4.2, (Oracle DB -
busy busy!) I always just get:

oracledb.norwich.edu: VSS SYSTEM FILESET:\ level=skip, 0 KB 00:00:01
0 files

(Then again, I'm no windows/VSS expert  by any stretch!)
