Those are restore points. They will only *ever* be used if you restore
to one of them, when they will be used just the once, so fragmentation
is not of any importance (other than their breaking up free space).
They may fall under the head of files that the inbuilt defrag will not
touch (as does the page file for example), though I see no reason why
they should - other than the saving of time through not doing something
unneeded
