Immich First setup-Backup Issue
I am a novice in unix. Implemented ubuntu NAS server and tried to implement Immich v2.3.1 with the help of AI (perplexity pro) I was able to upload photos thru webUI but when I tried to take a backup, the backup is restricted to only 26 items which were moved from test-batch to immich-library but not for those uploaded thru webUI
I have enabled ssh in windows and tryong to access /manage with AI. Can some one patient enough to guide me (I am a sr citizen aged 69) but willing to learn new things and has working knowledge on windows but not much on unix. I am able to see all my photos in webUI. Implemented tailscale , samba and can access the phots thru my mobile too.. Here is the context for my issue. I am alsio new to Discord

Immich web UI reports over 12,000 assets for my userid and shows 62GB used.
Immich runs in Docker Compose on a Linux NAS.
The configured asset storage location is /home/tkrmedia/media-share/Photos/test-batch (set via UPLOAD_LOCATION in .env).
All asset folders (upload/<userID>, library/<userID>, profile/<userID>, etc.) are missing or empty on disk and in Docker volumes—no files are present to back up.
Database dump is present and correct, but physical asset files cannot be found; disk, Docker, and mount checks show no large asset folders.
Docker Compose and Immich config files available for review.
System disk, SMB, and Docker volume scans all confirm the missing assets.
No backup is possible—requesting guidance on how to locate and protect the actual files.
