As in "While the photos are still in your storage, the DB is gone for good and a manual reimport from the existing files is not possible, so you have three options:
Restoring the DB from a working backup
Reinstalling and reuploading the data
Reinstalling and importing the existing data as external libraries - which will lead to duplicates in your users galleries as soon as their devices sync themselves with Immich"
Honestly, you really don’t want options 2 and 3. Just make sure you’ve got good backups of everything. My DB is backed up daily and I keep periodic backups for up to three years just to be sure.
