Immich stores two types of content in the filesystem: (1) original, unmodified assets (photos and videos), and (2) generated content. Only the original content needs to be backed-up, which is stored in the following folders: Immich stores two types of content in the filesystem: (a) original, unmodified assets (photos and videos), and (b) generated content. We recommend backing up the entire contents of `UPLOAD_LOCATION`, but only the original content is critical, which is stored in the following folders:
1. `UPLOAD_LOCATION/library` 1. `UPLOAD_LOCATION/library`
2. `UPLOAD_LOCATION/upload` 2. `UPLOAD_LOCATION/upload`
3. `UPLOAD_LOCATION/profile` 3. `UPLOAD_LOCATION/profile`
If you choose to back up only those folders, you will need to rerun the transcoding and thumbnail generation jobs for all assets after you restore from a backup.
