I have been backing up the photos folder for my immich. Something weird happened with one of my hard drives so i had to restore. It has a folder for each year and inside there is a folder for each day. immich doesnt support the ability to drag and drop the year folder into the UI. What’s the best way to get all my media back into immich?
A proper backup of immich contains 3 folders (library, upload and profile) and the database! It is linked to its database. Every software with a database should have a backup of the database too (Paperless-ngx for example)
If you just saved the library folder, you will need to recreate all albums again and upload it again. Maybe the CLI can help you with this.
For the next time, please read the docs about backup and restore
Thanks. Database would error on backing up. Because I did not do that backup command in the link. I just used rsync to off site.
Just started the import! Thanks again.
