immich backup appears to be accessing live database

I have my main server where immich lives. I am currently checking my backup strategy.
I have stopped the imich container in its entirity and copied everything, bit for bit, to a second server.
I have started the docker compose up in the backup server and immich has started sucsessfully. All previous images are available to view. The images are being served from the backup server.

Worryingly, however, the web interface is showing blurred images for images taken less than 7 days ago. This backup instance of immich should have absolutely no knowledge of these images.

Supporting images:
Live Server showing current backed up images from today:

Backup Server showing blurred thumbnails as these images do not exisit on the backup server:

This indicates that the backup server is accessing the live database - however I am not sure where this informatoin is gleaned from. A permamnet URL has been set but there is no indication this is for database conenctions either.
