What is a long time? I’ve been running it more than a year, and the number of times it broke and the amount of time I had to invest into its quite high. You may be lucky, or I may be unlucky, but I’m just explaining my experience

We aware that Immich breaks one week and then the other week too

That’s interesting. Although I usually handle backups myself (to backblaze) and I never tested provider backup mechanism

Yes, that’s true. But if I start having many servers I will also start feeling the urge to cluster them, and that will be an absolute black hole of my time 😅

Yes. In any case I will attach an external volume,which is easier to manage and relatively cheap. Thanks for pointing it out
