I would like to browse all my iCloud Drive folders in Time Machine. Interestingly, the actual location of the iCloud Drive folders is ~/Library/Mobile Documents. 'iCloud Drive' in the sidebar only shows a subset of those folders.

By default, when you open ~/Library/Mobile Documents, it redirects to 'iCloud Drive'. Fortunately, you can prevent this by creating an alias of ~/Library/Mobile Documents.

In Time Machine unfortunately, you will be redirected to 'iCloud Drive' even when you use an alias. My question is: is there any way to prevent this, perhaps by disabling the 'iCloud Drive' redirect altogether?
