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
immichwith subdirsdbandlibrary - Mount the
dbdir as a volume for the database - Mount the
librarydir as a volume for the upload location - Backup the whole
immichdir without dumping the Postgres db. (Stop Immich while before doing this)


Thanks all for the comments and suggestions!
