well using nc-scan via the webpanel or via terminal, did not pull in any data. it shows “1 user” and 0 files and 0 folders added.
I pointed it to /home/pcusername/nextcloud/data-dir/nextcloudusername/files/' my data directory top level is located /home/pcusername/nextcloud/data-dir/`
Prior to running this I checked the existing files directory to see what the permissions were set as, then moved the contents of my backed up data from ~/ncusername/files/ to my new install `/home/pcusername/nextcloud/data-dir/nextcloudusername/files/’ . Then I ran the nc-fix-permissions tool, then ran the nc-scan tool.
I guess I can try the suggestion linked in the solution here: Can I move files direct to Nextcloud?
