  • It stores a lot of data, I assume the size is the reason for the interest?  Slight smile The main ones are:

    • \logs\ - the logs of the service, driver, processes
    • \Event journals\ - When you have EDR/RCA/FIM (servers) enabled, SophosED.sys is recording all the operations taking place.  This is the data for that. *.bin are the current file, the xz are compressed files.  These are compressed every 5 mins by SEDService.exe.
    • \Edr Saved Data\ - The 5 min processing of the journals by sspedr.exe for data of interest being sent is stored here.  "backup" folder for example has the last 10 uploads of the JSON data once extracted.
    • \Forensic Snapshots\ - Any initiated forensic snapshots from Central are stored here.
    • \data content records\  - Cache of data about files, persisted over reboots and loaded by SophosED.sys
    • \appfeed\ data to detect applications for autoexclusions, etc.
    • \decisionrulesv2\ - behavioural data files

    They are the main ones, the others seem to be IPC data.
