How can you access files inside a Volume Shadow Copy snapshot without mounting it as a drive letter?

You can access snapshot files by using the device path `\\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopyXX` directly in `copy` commands, or by creating a symbolic link with `mklink /d c:\testvsc \\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy12\`. This allows browsing the snapshot like a normal folder, as demonstrated in the original article. After finishing, delete the link with `rd c:\testvsc`. This technique is often used in Domain Penetration - Obtaining the NTDS.dit File from Domain Controller Servers to quietly extract the NTDS.dit file.
