I have this node with strangely named (for a Windows box) filesystem where
the "$" is missing.

Sort of someone manually renaming it, how could this have happened?  Plus,
there is no "Last Backup" date?

Is this filespace of any value?  There is over 250GB of backups to delete
if it is determined to be garbage?

FWIW, there actually is a filesystem named "\\gis\e$" that does have 356GB
of backups and updated yesterday.
