Upgrading from v1.120.2 to latest
Hey everyone! I'm still running Immich v1.120.2 (yeah, I know it's ancient 😅) and I've got a fresh instance of the latest version spun up.
What's the safest/easiest way to migrate my photos and data over? Looking for the path of least resistance here - don't want to lose anything in the process. Will the usual backup and restore process work or will there be completability issues? Thanks!

Information
In order to be able to effectively help you, we need you to provide clear information to show what the problem is. The exact details needed vary per case, but here is a list of things to consider:
- Your docker-compose.yml and .env files.
- Logs from all the containers and their status (see above).
- All the troubleshooting steps you've tried so far.
- Any recent changes you've made to Immich or your system.
- Details about your system (both software/OS and hardware).
- Details about your storage (filesystems, type of disks, output of commands like fdisk -l and df -h).
- The version of the Immich server, mobile app, and other relevant pieces.
- Any other information that you think might be relevant.
Please paste files and logs with proper code formatting, and especially avoid blurry screenshots.
Without the right information we can't work out what the problem is. Help us help you ;)
If this ticket can be closed you can use the /close command, and re-open it later if needed.Hello! You can't backup and restore into a newer version. I think since you have a older working instance the path of least resistance is to just update
Use that link. Check out all the breaking changes between your version and latest. Go through each and apply. Take backups along the way
Yep, thought that may b the case thank you
That will take way less time than re-importing
Have a good day
Thanks
