Problem with restoring Immich photo library after server crash

I experienced my Immich server going down and couldn't resolve the issue, so I decided to:

1: Back up the entire photo library (25 GB)
2: Copy it to my main computer
3: Perform a clean new installation of Immich (deleted the broken container and immich-photos folder)

Current challenge:
I can't upload all my backup folders to the new Immich server. It appears that I can only select one folder at a time and upload all photos under that specific folder.
Question:
Is there a way to batch-upload or import the 25 GB of photos/videos from my backup (which only comes from the library folder) to the new Immich server? I'm looking for an efficient method to get my entire photo library imported again.
