For the non technical people, what is the proper way to back up immich? I’ve scoured the internet for an easy/common solution with no luck.
I’ve come to realize maybe there’s no right or wrong way to do this but I don’t want to find out the hard way. I want to reiterate I don’t have a technical background.
I’m running immich on ZimaOS. Everything looks good and it’s up and running fine, really happy with how it’s going. But now that I moved everything from iCloud to immich I want to back it up before I delete photos from iCloud. All the solutions I’ve found include using the CLI and I’m not at that level. I just want this initial backup and I’ll likely do it again quarterly.
Here’s what I did, tell him if this is wrong/bad idea. I copied the immich folder from my server (photo attached) that includes 6 subfolders. Backup holds the database and library holds the photos which seems to be the most important things.
Is there a better way to do this?
