Description
I've had next-cloud backup running for about a month without doing anything to it. I now have a fair number of differential backups that are marked "orphans". As far as I can tell, the full that is the root of each differential is present and intact. Also, every backup is marked as unverified as reported in #114.
Here's what I'm seeing:
Doing a 'backup:point:scan' doesn't resolve any issues. I am using "external" storage to a second physical volume on the server. However interestingly if I do a 'backup:external:list' I get an error:
The "External:10" location is the local filesystem /data/nextcloud-backups. The all_data is configured to /data/nextcloud-backups/app_data and restore points is /data/nextcloud-backups/restore-points.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the backup:point:scan and backup:external:list commands against the configured paths /data/nextcloud-backups/app_data and /data/nextcloud-backups/restore-points. Compare the orphan and unverified states with the behavior described in issue #114. Done means the reported differential backups are correctly associated with their full backups and the external location lists without the shown error.
