I am also experiencing this problem since today. Even rebooting the notification comes back and is always visible.

I am also facing this issue.

PS.: Is there a way to disable a failed backup sync. My server is not 24/7 on, so failed backups are expected. thx

My Immich server always on.

But since app updated to 1.106.1 I'm often getting "Backup error - Failed to connect to the server. Retrying..." notification, which doesn't go away by itself.

I believe Android apps are required to display a persistent notification to run reliably in the background.

I think that's true, but we should delete/remove/clean up the notification once all the work has finished.
