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.

I’m not looking to become a sysadmin, thanks. I just want somewhere to safely store and organize my private photos.

  Give me the angry downvote all you want but, you are administering a system, you are literally a sysadmin

  And that’s fine and understandable. But I don’t think that Immich is for you. It’s not consumer-grade software. It’s a piece of Linux server software that requires occasional maintenance and administration. We haven’t seen a breaking update in a while but Immich does occasionally release updates where things will break if you don’t dig in to the config files and reconfigure it.

    If they implemented a proper backup system I wouldn’t have to worry about it breaking. That’s why I want it.
    
    There’s nothing else I need to access the backend for.

  “I want to be an F1 racer but I don’t wanna learn to drive”
  
  That’s what I heard you say
