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.

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.

    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.
