Restore apps from backup

Hi Everyone, Running into a bit of an issue. I was having some performance issues with my RN102 (OS 6.6.1), so I decided a factory reset was in order. I backed up the entire /data volume, as well...

If you backed up and restored /data/.apps then you might be in an inconsistent state.

You'll likely need to reinstall them - if they are already there, then check the configuration.

Can't seem to fine the /data/.apps folder on the backup drive, even with hidden files/folders viewable.

So I guess it's time to start the process of reinstalling, and hopefully the configs will be restored.

  Did you start with \\nas-ip-address\data and use admin credentials?

    I'm trying that now, but it can't seem to find the .apps folder. EDIT: but either way, the .apps folder didn't get backed up, so it looks like I have to reinstall.
    
    The bigger issue: when I go to the admin page, there's nothing under "available apps", and I'm unable to install apps from .deb files.
