Are you talking about backup images like taken with Vista Ultimate or recovery points that are stored in the shadowstorage?

don't you mean a backup partition your drive?,that is what the question sound like

Since it probably is one of the biggest files on your computer try this:
WinDirStat - Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Download.com
Open WinDirStat and let it scan your disk.
Once you see a few large squares, click on each one until you find something that looks like a backup. Click on it and it will shows it file tree. A file tree is like this:
C:\
+ Users
+Rahul (my name)
+Documents
Company Files
Important Presentation.pptx (which is represented by let's say... a blue small square)
There! I found my presentation for work!
That was just an example

I am not even sure what we are looking for. If he's looking for the shadowstorage, WinDirStat will not show it.
