Fix "No snapshots found" in WEBUI and fix restore-snapshot

[martinwilco]

Issue nextcloud#1573: No snapshots found on WEBUI backups page When creating BTRFS snapshots, either manually or automatically, the snapshots are stored in /media/myCloudDrive/ncp-snapshots. The snapshots should be displayed on WEBUI Backups page but there is an error "No snapshots found". The reason is that backups.php looks for snapshots in /media/myCloudDrive/ncdata/ncp-snapshots which is the wrong path. Solution: Fix the path in backups.php, now the snapshots are displayed correctly on WEBUI Backups page.

Issue nextcloud#1830: Restore BTRFS snapshot fails Restoring a BTRFS snapshot fails with "ERROR: Not a Btrfs subvolume: Invalid argument". That is because nc-restore-snapshot.sh tries to delete /media/myCloudDrive/ncdata/data instead of /media/myCloudDrive/ncdata. Thanks to @Dimitar-Boychev for pointing out the issue and providing the solution.

Hi, thank you for the PR! Unfortunately this can't be fixed so easily, because the data directory location is either in /ncdata or in/ncdata/data, depending on whether you are using nc-encrypt or not. I'll have a look at this after the next update (that's shortly going to be released).

@theCalcaholic how can I get to the situation where the data directory is /ncdata ?

I just enabled nc-encrypt -> rebooted -> unlocked via the web interface and I get /ncdata/data as data dir.

root@nextcloudpi:/home/ncpssh# ncc config:system:get datadirectory

root@nextcloudpi:/home/ncpssh# sudo -u www-data php -r 'include("/var/www/nextcloud/config/config.php"); echo($CONFIG["datadirectory"]);'
/media/myCloudDrive/ncdata/data

Then I disabled nc-crypt and rebooted. The data dir ramained in /ncdata/data.

Any more work being done regarding this fix?

I am also very interested in the current status, as the standard recovery routine involving snapshots seems to be broken.
