Feature detail

I would love to see a simple backup solution to make daily/weekly a backup to another drive/folder from every uploaded picture/video. Is it possible? I'm trying now to resolve manually with rsync scheduling, but it's not easy (I'm a noob to linux).

@bo0tzz commented on GitHub (Nov 24, 2022):

It's generally not recommended to use a tool like rsync for backups, since it would also synchronize deletions. I don't have a specific recommendation, but I suggest you take a look at this list of backup tools and pick one of them. Everybody's backup setup is different, so I don't think this is something to add into Immich itself.

@ZsZolee I recommend
Duplicati.
It runs in docker, very easy to use, can back up to local file system or many different cloud providers, it can do incremental and smart backup retention (eg daily from last week, weekly for last month, monthly prior to that).

I use it to back up all my config to AWS. I'm not currently using it for photos but I should lol. If you set it up I'm curious to know if you run into any challenges etc.

I'm using FreeFileSync and installed it based on this manual: https://github.com/pmkees/build-FreeFileSync-on-raspberry-pi
