In my country no ISP will offer you a real IP address anymore. Not on IPv4 at least. So doesn't matter if your ports are blocked or not, you are CG-NATted in any case.
I think it is. It doesn't take much to understand which folders needs to be backed up. They are also pretty clear on the immich website on how to backup the database itself. No, just an "export" wouldn't be good enough since the files themselves do not include the metadata.
I have three tiers of backup. Never heard or the 3,2,1 rule?
3 backups
2 locations
1 offsite
I backup one time on an external disk connected to the server. A second time to another disk, connected on an OpenWRT router located in the patio. A third copy is uploaded to my VPS in the cloud.
not all three are symmetrical due to disk sizes. But critical data is always backed up on all three.
Daily backups.
Restic do deduplication and encryption too, so actual data usage is really minimal and all is kept safe.
i have double checked but i do not have any banner on my wiki at all... Where did you see one? The only cookie is a technical cookie only used for your preferences and no tracking.
I backup with restic the database backups done by immich, not the database itself, and the Library/library folder which contains the actual images and videos.
