The backup doc from Immich states that one should use Postgres’ dump functionality to backup the database, as well as copy the upload location.

Is there any counter indication to doing this instead:

  • Create a dir immich with subdirs db and library
  • Mount the db dir as a volume for the database
  • Mount the library dir as a volume for the upload location
  • Backup the whole immich dir without dumping the Postgres db. (Stop Immich while before doing this)

    I do this always for any service but also do a dump of the db in the top directory to keep a clean copy to could be version independent. They wont take much more space ho estly
