If you only need the data of a backup then it should be possible to get it back by simply restoring the nextcloud data of that account from a specific backup.
The nextcloud data directory is found at /var/lib/nethserver/nextcloud/[username]/files/

Have a look at the admin guide how to restore a specific (set of) data: https://docs.nethserver.org/en/v7/backup.html#selective-restore-of-files

And he doesn’t have any backup? And this is your problem?

But he should be able to log into the Nextcloud web UI and pull the previous versions from there–nothing for you to do.

You may try to rescan the files to make them available in Nextcloud:

sudo -u apache /opt/rh/rh-php73/root/usr/bin/php -d memory_limit=512M /usr/share/nextcloud/occ files:scan

Nextcloud only shows the files if they are in the database. If you just copy files to the nextcloud user files location, they don’t show in nextcloud, but they are there.

You can have a look at the nextcloud help about occ (nextcloud commandline tool): https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/13.0.0/admin_manual/configuration_server/occ_command.html

the command occ files:scan can be made user specific (just for 1 user) if you add --username:
occ files:scan --username
Especially with a lot of users this can be more convenient.
