Automatic DB Backups help

So I'm reading DB backups are just as important as the actual media files. I have automatic DB backups turned on in the settings but I am not seeing them in the UPLOAD_LOCATION/backups folder.

Also the postgresql log doesn't show any activity since 1/3/25 and the entries don't really show anything that indicates any backup was done. The Immich server log does actually show a DB backup succesful message though but I don't know where it's being saved at:

[Nest] 8 - 01/22/2025, 1:46:40 AM LOG [Microservices:BackupService] Database Backup Success

I noticed there was an update that had optional steps to add a DB_DATA_LOCATION to the .env and compose file but I didn't do that as it says it was optional.

My media is backed up via Proxmox backup server but I want to make sure the DB is also being backed up.

Thank you!
