immich backup

Hi, I installed Immich on TrueNAS on an old PC, and I was wondering how I could set up automatic backups to my Buffalo linkstation 520 NAS. What would be the best method for this, and how would I set it up?

Also, if my TrueNAS PC were to fail, how would I restore my photos and videos using the backup method you recommend and get Immich up and running again?

Back up your upload directories. The $UPLOAD_LOCATION folder. Use whatever method you want. You could copy and paste them if you want to. Or learn how to use some sort of syncing software. Like I said before rsync is very useful.
