DC with system state backup of 7GB

On one of my DC's the system state backup is approximetely 7GB. In my opninion to large. Some other DC's in the same domain have system state backups of approximetely 1GB.

In my opinion it's not the AD or sysvol. The registry is about 500MB so also very unlikely. The only things left are Bootfiles or COM+. Where can i find the size of those?

Can anyone explain why the system state is so large?

@dan_blagut: Thanks for your comment. It helped me to find the real problem. I checked all the items that are backed up with the system state but came only near the 700MB....so still missing some GB's. Next thing i did was check the VB script starting the system state backup. The job contained a data folder with some GB's of data ;)
