Recover specific files from backup | Nextcloud AIO

I recently discovered that I have three video files which, according to Nextcloud, are only a few kilobytes in size. I know for a fact, however, that they should be almost 50 GB in total. They definetely were when I originally copied them onto my computer. I later moved them into the Nextcloud folder to be synched which is where I came back to now, a month later, to find them be super small. I suspect there was some kind of error in synchronizing them.

I confirmed that there are no versioned files of the correct size. They are all the reported KB-size on all my computers to which they got synched.

My only hope now is that they maybe still exist in their original form in one of my backups. I have a monthly backup from just after I must have originally put them into my Nextcloud folder.
Is there any way to search the borg backup files to see if they still contain the originals from a couple months back?

Yes, see GitHub - nextcloud/all-in-one: 📦 The official Nextcloud installation method. Provides easy deployment and maintenance with most features included in this one Nextcloud instance.
