Comment on Immich: opinion revised

  You should have a backup solution for your server that should cover this

  Thats…why I’m asking?

  managed photo backup services

  …is that not what Immich is?

    Are you paying for Immich somewhere? Then you’d have to trust the administrator to back your data up. I had assumed you were self hosting and by managed services I meant like Google Photos, or indeed someone else’s Immich setup.

      No.

      Not doing that for reasons that shouldn’t need explaining.

        If you’re self hosting then you could just copy all the files from your server onto an external drive. I have to say that’s not a great backup solution though, and you should learn more about administration of Linux servers so that when things break you can fix them. I wouldn’t rely on it as a safe solution to your photos otherwise.
