Ok and thanks for your answer Andy. It makes me curious.. Why and when would I use SYSTEM OBJECT in a w2k3 restore with a 5.2 client. It got to be a reason why that possibility still exist? Documentations only mentions restore systemstate/systemservices on w2k3.

The two methods are incompatible and cannot be converted between each other. Since the SYSTEM OBJECT file space is still restorable by the 5.2 client, the 5.3 client does not delete that file space. Once you have been running the 5.3 client for a period time, you can delete the old SYSTEM OBJECT file space at your discretion.
