[Bug-ddrescue] What to do with created file?

[Dennis]

Hi!

I am quite new to ddrescue and now, I am facing a little problem. 

I did run ddrescue over the partition which contains my /home-path (as root) 
and got an output file which seems to be the correct size (about 30GB). 
But what to do with this file? After what I´ve read, ddrescue writes source 
devices back into files which are supposed to be a device, which should mean 
that I can simply mount the output file and then access the files in there. 
But this does not work!
Additionally, I have to add that my /home-partition is an encrypted loop 
device, but at the time I started ddrescue to backup this partition, it was 
mounted correctly and therefor accessible without limitations.

Can somebody please tell me how to access the files in the output file and 
then copy some of them to another partition? Thanks!

Yours,
Mike
