We've seen > 200GB "VSS SYSTEM FILESET"'s. After working with EMC for eight months they came out with a 7.4.3 and 7.4.4 fix. The fix was LGTsc20343. Our saveset's are now under 1GB :-)

Hello,

I am just starting to backup Windows Server 2008 systems using Networker 7.4 SP4. The Save set: is "All". When doing incremental backups, even with no activity on the host between backups, I always get a HUGE saveset for the VSS SYSTEM FILESET:\.

server.name.ca: VSS SYSTEM FILESET:\ level=full, 11 GB 01:10:01  73151 files

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a workaround? Getting 11 GB of data on every incremental backup really adds up over time.

Thanks,

Mark
