System Volume Information holds the restore points for System Restore. This
folder will automatically clear when drive layout changes so, no -- this is
not something you should care about. You can skip that folder.

I had the same when I used W-D Lifeguard,F:/System Volume
> Information/MountPointManagerRemoteDatabase unable to open,when I started to use the drive it wouldn't create a restore point would send report for crash to MS.That was to copy drive C:\ to F:\,Iformated it and used the drive to drive option and it worked fine.Tried this on another computer for a friend,same thing restore wouldn't work.Try it,if it don't work then format and use a different option to copy the drive.Good Luck!
