All files have "disappeared"
At this point when I log in to my ReadyNAS over the web interface all sahres have disappeared, even the usual default ones. There is only a home folder with an empty folder for the original admin and...

So the issue is that the readynas share config files have become corrupted.
One thing you could try is
- rename one of the public share folders (subvolume)
- create a new share with the original name
- delete the new subvolume with btrfs subvolume delete -c \data\sharename
- rename the original public share folder to the original name.

You could use paid support for this. It probably will require use of ssh to recover the shares. Are you familiar with the linux command line?

I have a second NAS, exact same thing, and I back this one up to the second one. Now the interesting thing is that the backups still back up all the new data on the invisible parts.

I thought you said it was also windows file explorer???
Can you clarify?

The files and the sahers are visible on smb and nfs, I can mount them to an external device.
Windows, linux works well with them.
The only problem is that on the web interface the shares are gone. Even the default ones like Pictures, Documents, Music, Videos are gone from the web interface.
There is only the "Home Folders" in the NAS root when looked at it from the web interface.
