They are hive files. You will not be able to read them when windows is loaded.
Information can be found here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default....se/registry.asp -------------------- Lawrence

From what I understand you can not access those files directly while windows is running, but you can access the registry and export hives using programming APIs.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q145679/ System restore exports hives from the live registry not by accessing those files directly, but by using the above apis to export the information as hives, and stores those copies in c:\_restore c:\system volume information -------------------- Lawrence

I am sure those files are acceptable while the system is running because I have tested some software which can copy those files while the system is running.
