Mystery file being written at almost 6MB/sec

[Roof Fiddler]

Image "System", PID 4, is writing to file
"C:\System Volume Information\{7920ac3e-6af2-...}{3808876b-c176...}"
(ellipses because the actual file name is way too long to bother manually
transcribing here, and Windows is too lame to let me actually copy and paste
the filename from Reliability and Performance Monitor) at 350MB/min, and
thereby saturating the disk with I/O so that anything else I try to do on
the system is dreadfully slow.
I see no indication of what might be causing this. How can I find out, or
does anybody know offhand what this probably is?

That's "System Protection" aka System Restore - Start/Control Panel/System &
Maintenance/System/System Protection...being written I guess.
