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.

    I use Borg Backup to backup specific folders of my hard disk to my hetzner storage box.

    The software is triggered by corn/systemd to start a backup.

      Does borg need an entire python venv?

      I was looking at “modern” backup tools while back and when I saw borg was python I decided not to bother.

      Instead I focused on restic for a little while and then rsync was already there and I already knew the commands so… Rsync. Though I still have restic on my list.

        If you want to go on the restic route, you can try BackRest: it’s a web interface for restic with graphs and all.
