Pointing to previously saved immich data
I have configured the app to store data to my SSD and it all worked fine. a couple of days ago, my windows docker engine started acting weird and I reinstalled docker. now the old volumes don't show up anymore. I do have the thumbnails and photos stored on my ssd though. is there a way I could point the current instance to the previously generated thumbnails and ml data so to avoid expensive computations all over again. is there a way to backup volumes and restore if this were to happen again?

Did you take a database backup by chance?
unfortunately no
i have added the db_dumper config to the docker-compse to start taking backups going forward
I don't think there is an easy way to avoid reporting everything
any insights into backing up the db vs backing up the docker volumes?
Have you looked at this? Sorry wrong one
yup I did go through this. but my question was more toward the other 2 volumes
model-cache and tsdata
do we need to back them up as well?
Nope
Correct, just the database and originals need to be backed up
gotcha
