Research direction

Start by reproducing the report on NC 25 with occ backup:point:scan followed by occ backup:point:list, checking whether full restoring points are actually created or only omitted from the listing. Trace the backup point scan and list entry points to find why the full point disappears, then verify that a full point remains available alongside differential points.

Description

NC 25
I have backup installed for a few weeks. Few restoring points were created. A differential restoring point was scheduled last night. Today morning, all restoring points disappeared. I ran sudo -u www-data php /var/www/html/occ backup:point:scan, then sudo -u www-data php /var/www/html/occ backup:point:list, and see three differential restoring points without any full restoring point.
