Database died, Backup support
Setup: Windows Server 2022 > C:/ > Docker > U:/(larger external drive) > Immich.
What happened: Power loss; upon restart, Immich started, but the external drive was not immediately connected. Being that drive U:/ no longer existed, Immich started as a new install on C:/.
>. After powering up U:/, Immich was still stuck thinking its was freshly installed.
>. Upon trying to solve issue, deleted U:/immich/postgres
>. Now complete loss, but there are still auto backups.
The real loss here is the organized albums. Are albums stored in: immich-db-backup-20250815T020000-v1.137.3-pg14.18.sql.gz ?
To prevent this in the future, I decided to start over on C:/
Going through all 15,000 images and videos making 100 albums again will be painstaking. Assistance requested.
