Yeah this change was long overdue. I couldn’t believe how complicated the old restore process was, I have a dozen or more other containers running and nothing else was close to that level of complexity

Backing up the database from web, I have been awaiting this feature. I had to recover the database once and it was a pain in the ass to get immich working again.

This reminds me to remind people to put their apps on snapshotting filesystems and activate autonatic, regular snapshots. Then you can always go back to a working version when something goes wrong.

Snapshots are great for solving accidental oopses, and for getting consistent backups that reflect a single point in time. But they aren’t backups. If the HDD or SSD dies snapshots don’t help. If the file system gets corrupted snapshots don’t help. If the file data becomes corrupt snapshots don’t help (since they only store a single copy of any version of a file).
So snapshots are no substitute for backups. I run btrfs and I do backups, and I sync those backups to a remote location (look up 3-2-1 backup).

I can‘t speak for btrfs, but with zfs you usually are advised to send the snapshots off to another location too. That usecase is highly supported.

Snapshots aren’t backup. No question.
