It is one of the key parts of the "system restore" function in windows. More info here: <a href="https://usdt.livevault.com/Help-expert/CPT/system_state_bk_ovw.html">https://usdt.livevault.com/Help-expert/CPT/system_state_bk_ovw.html</a> In general, system state refers to the operating system patch level and configuration (like the registry for Windows), as well as the installed applications and patch levels. Basically everything but the files and databases you normally back up.
