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.

    I’m in a similar predicament except my backup target is offsite storage reachable via SSH. What are people’s thoughts between kopia and restic for such datasets?

      I have backed up and restored several TB of data using restic. It’s been great in my experience.

      I’ve mostly used it to back up to Wasabi but if I was setting it up now, I’d take a good look at CloudFlare R2.

      If you’ve already got a host, you might implement the rest server.
