iCloud Imported, but still wants to backup
Hi All
This is probably a dumb question. Its ok - I'm potentially quite dumb. Or confused.
I imported my photos from an iCloud data dump, using the immich-go - and they appear within Immihc. Great. However on the iOS app, it still wants to "backup" as well. SO for example 50,000 itmes were imported, and it still wants to backup 50000 items via the iOS app. My brain says "why?" - if the phots are already existing on the Immich server, should it not go through and go "yep, everything matches, nothing to backup, happy days".
Have I missed something? Need to ensure I have everything sorted before I bring other family into this setup.
Thanks!

Thanks, just switched over. What would be the expected experience here - it checks everything against the server, compares and then shows all up to date?
yeah
Do i need to be running on a dev branch as well for the server, ot is "latest" ok?
Just latest
Sweet, love your work. Will give it a nudge.
