How should I back up my 45 GB Immich server with Restic + Backblaze?
Hello guys, I have an Immich server with a total size of around 45 GB, with the database, uploads, and everything else stored under a single directory. I want to back it up to Backblaze using Restic. How should I go about doing it?
I have some idea of how to do it. I was thinking about selectively backing up the upload directory and database dumps instead of the entire directory. Would that be a better approach, or should I just let Restic back up the entire Immich directory?
I also have fairly limited upload bandwidth (around 5 Mb/s), so I’d like the backup process to be able to run gradually in the background and resume if my PC or connection is restarted.
What do you guys think? How are you running your Immich backups, and is there anything specific I should make sure to back up so that I can fully restore Immich if my PC dies?
Also, I’d love to know about your backup strategies.
