ERROR [Api:StorageService] Failed to read upload/backups/.immich: Error: ENOENT

For anyone else who has been searching discord for this error, there was a few solutions which didnt align with my setup, so I'll post my solution here.

My current volume mapping looks like this:
volumes:
- ${UPLOAD_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/upload/upload
- ${LIBRARY_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/upload/library
- ${THUMB_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/upload/thumbs
- ${VIDEO_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/upload/encoded-video
- ${PROFILE_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/upload/profile

so it was missing a reference for backups:
- ${BACKUP_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/upload/backups

Then set the folder in the .envs, head into the directory you point backups to, and create the .immich file manually. Set chmod 777 on the .immich file, and start it back up. Hope this is helpful.
