Backup all assets in Immich
I currently have all my assets stored only on Immich.. I know, I know, very bad, all responsibility is mine if I lose my photos. And I'm not too worrried about losing them anyways.
Anyways, I wanted to be more responsible, so what's the best way to back up an entire Immich library to an external drive?

I backup my photos to Backblaze storage as cold backup
Is there any straightforward way to backup everything in the Immich library to an external drive? Or will I have to copy over the docker volume? Also about the backblaze, the whole reason I like Immich is because my data stays local
true, but if your house burned down, you will lose the data, right?
so you will need an offsite backup strategy
my choice is to use B2 storage, encrypted
you can use Duplicaty or Restic as the backup client
Restic is better AFAIK
A raspberry PI, NAS, Synology would work as an offsite backup if one doesn't want to use an online service.
You could also use a script when plugging in an external HDD, starting a rsync job. Unplug and store somewhere else when finished.
