My goal is to to fully ditch Google Photos for Immich. I have about ~3TB of photos and videos. Looking for a super simple way of backing up the library to cloud storage in case of a drive failure without spending a ton.
Ideally, this will require nothing on my part besides copying files into a given folder. And ideally the storage will be encrypted and have basic privacy assurances.
Also if it matters my home server is running Debian. But I’d prefer something that runs in docker so I can more easily check on it remotely.
Any recommendations? Preferably something something with a homeassistant integration or docker container with webui so I can more easily access it remotely. New to all this.
I use restic to backup immich (and everything else) to b3.
Be sure to stop the docker container while you backup to avoid skew.
Backblaze saved my ass at the end of last year when I had a hardware failure.
I use Duplicati and I THINK it has a container option? It is a web UI though.
I have my Immich library on a network drive and I took the lazy way and have my desktop duplicati just back up the network drive instead of directly on the server 😅
Looks like it does have a container option! $100/year for Backblaze computer backup is above what I was hoping to spend but it’s unlimited and I’m looking for a set it and forget it option so I’ll probably do exactly that, thank you.
There’s a plan where you pay some tiny amount per gb. Thats the one to use.
It’s $6/tb which isn’t bad but for my 3tbs is still more than $100/yr.
I’d be surprised if you find cheaper, but if you do, please report back.
Fwiw, BB have been super reliable for me over that past few years I’ve used them.
