server / photos backup
I've just imported my photo's via Android and CLI. Should my backup scripts just focus on the upload folder for photos (inc thumbs) and then the persistent docker folder for the (PostgreSQL i believe?) Db, settings, users etc?
Assuming same version, would those 2 bring me back to the same state when I deploy somewhere else?

You should keep the UPLOD_LOCATION and the location where the pg_data is stored at
I would personally recommend using pgdumpall for a postgres backup.
