Incorrect date in md but correct folder
I uploaded media from a backup of the library/ folder using rsync. About 350 photos and videos are having the metadata date as the date when I backed them up. But they're placed in the right folder of the library with the month folder as when they were shot or downloaded.

You mean the file metadata date? If its there immich uses the date from the exif metadata
Yes. The files were placed in the right folders earlier. But after using rsync to backup the library folder, a lot of files have the metadata date as the day when I used rsync to back them up
There's a flag for rsync to set that behaviour
Sounds like everything is working as expected right now
Hmm...
rsync -aHXv --numeric-ids --delete --dry-run --progress -e "ssh -T -o Compression=no -x" [email protected]:/library/folder/on/server/ /local/backup/folder/
Any mistake made here?No idea :p
Can you clarify for me:
1. Are the assets displaying the correct date in immich?
2. Is the assets' exif data correct?
And it's not all files but just a few of them
1. Yes
2. How to check that? I checked in File Properties and the Windows Photos app, both of which have the created date as 24th June
1. Then all is well 😛
2.
exiftool
is where its atAnd that's the same here

I'll have a look at exiftool and get back
Thanks for the clarification
