Hopefully I’m posting this in the right place. I’m planning on using immich for selfhosted photo storage. I’m a bit worried that I may lose all my photos if my drive fails, so I’m planning on running two hdd’s in raid 1 in addition to my nvme that I’m running my OS on.

I couldn’t find this when I googled it, but is it possible to point immich to store data on a separate internal drive other than the one that the OS is running on?

    I agree, OP please do proper backups, because RAID is not a backup.

    Borg is another great option for doing backups.

      Yeah the only thing I’ll need to backup will just be the photos. This machine is just gonna run Ubuntu server so I can try out a bunch of other self hostable services for fun. I’ll take a look into Borg though! Always appreciate any suggestions.
