2017-11-17-105835.inProgress - a 407.08 GB Package - how to open

How do I open this file -  "2017-11-17-105835.inProgress"  - a 407.08 GB Package

This file was created when a Mac mini failed to start (stalled progress bar, no opening screen) with Time Machine HD connected. I connected this HD to another Mac to view folders.

If opened, How to retrieve files?

I was concerned that would be true, however, I do have an Acronis 2013 full backup a couple of weeks older, but hopefully usable. I assume I can extract individual files to a different Mac mini - yes?

A long shot, but I booted in recovery mode & back in business where I left off. Well done Apple!
