The bug

I've had several times over the years where I notice my backup isn't working. I mean the backup described on this page: https://immich.app/docs/administration/backup-and-restore/

I followed the instructions and copy/pasted as appropriate, and each time it would work fine... for awhile. Then it wouldn't.

I think the problem is simple: When I restart the machine, Immich is restarting but the backup isn't. It eventually dawned on me that there's no restart logic. I haven't tested, but I expect simply adding:

restart: always

to the backup section of docker-compose.yml will resolve this.
