I have a backup of a drive made by Macrium Reflect which I have mapped as a drive to be able to browse it. Part of the backup is a $RECYCLE.BIN which I would like to explore but when I try to open it, I always end up in my local recycle bin. How can I access the backed up recycle bin?
I made three screenshots:
I tried to copy the recycle bin folder from the backup to my local storage and rename it but that didn't work either. I still end up in the local recycle bin with no files from the backed up recycle bin.
The files in the backed up recycle bin are definitely there because when I hover with mouse over the folder a preview of its content is showed which corresponds with the backed up recycle bin and these files are not contained in my local recycle bin.
EDIT: I figured out a way to get to those files even though it is no the most elegant solution, it works. You just have to create an archive (I used WinRAR) with the backed up recycle bin and then extract just the files from inside of the archived recycle bin.
