  • Haha this was my first thought too.

    Immich is very clear: “⚠️ Do not use the app as the only way to store your photos and videos.”

    In that case, you have your content elsewhere. Make a backup of relevant volumes and a database dump (for your albums and such) and then try updating. Roll back if it doesn’t work. If if you don’t have much in the way of Immich meta data, and the upgrade didn’t work, then you could just start from scratch and re-import your content.



  • Wow, a lot of variation in this thread!

    I get all my data to my server, then from there I have borgmatic do incremental backups to a backup drive on the same machine (nightly cronjob).

    From there I use Rclone to get the encrypted borg backup to Backblaze B2 for cloud storage.

    So for 3 2 1, my 3 copies are the original, the local backup, and the cloud backup.

    My 2 media are local hard drives and cloud storage (I think it’s fair to consider this a different kind of media).

    And my 1 offsite is the cloud backup.

    Now I’m dumb and have a fear of screwing something up so I have also started burning M-Discs of my critical data (everything except TV/movie/music stuff I can redownload). Though this was a lot more expensive than I was expecting, because of aforementioned me being dumb I already screwed up two discs (they are write once). I’m also doing two copies of each disc.

    Also I have photos/home videos additionally stored in ente, they are super important to me and I wanted a separated copy someone else is looking after.
