Before I swapped the SSD in my laptop for a new one I had Ubuntu running in WSL1 on Win10 v1909. I have the old SSD in an enclosure and can access the files on it from my new Windows installation.
How can I get the files (mainly crontab file, home folder) from my WSL installation on the old SSD?
In the new installation under C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps
there are folders:
CanonicalGroupLimited.UbuntuonWindows_79rhkp1fndgscCanonicalGroupLimited.UbuntuonWindows_2004.2020.424.0_x64__79rhkp1fndgsc(and file ubuntu.exe)
Under CanonicalGroupLimited.UbuntuonWindows_2004.2020.424.0_x64__79rhkp1fndgsc
there is a rootfs
folder with a Linux filesystem.
The old SSD is mounted on drive F:\ but under F:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps
the folder CanonicalGroupLimited.UbuntuonWindows_79rhkp1fndgsc
doesn't have a rootfs
folder.
