    Can I see what's inside the GUID files in System Volume Information?


    In my System volume information I have these two files. I want to see what exactly is inside "{GUID_2}{GUID_1}".

    {GUID_1} 65,536
    {GUID_2}{GUID_1} 5,494,538,240

    Is there some viewer or parser I can use to dump out what's in that file?

    Thanks

    The large "{GUID_2}{GUID_1}" file contains your system restore points.

    You can look inside of it using the steps in this tutorial:
