iPad tries to reupload all photos to Immich

I’ve set up Immich using Docker and successfully backed up all 22,000 photos from my iPhone. Everything works great.

Now I installed the Immich app on my iPad (same account) and enabled backup since I sometimes take photos or screenshots on that device too. However, as soon as I enable backup on the iPad, Immich shows that 22k files are ready to be uploaded again.

That’s not what I want — I don’t want duplicates or the entire iCloud photo library to be reuploaded from the iPad. I only want new photos taken on that device to be backed up.

Is there a way to avoid this mass re-upload behavior when enabling backup on a second device?
