I’m going to make a backup of 2TB SSD today. I will use clonezilla mainly because that’s all I know. But do you recommend any other ways for any reason?

I want to keep the process simple and easy. And I will likely take backup once a month or so repeatedly. It doesn’t have to be ready all the time. If you need more clarification, ask away.

    I’m on a similar boat except I might have less time resource available in the future cause I’m getting a job.

    Hopefully I could automate full disk backup because if something like Immich breaks, I can just load up from the backup drive. My family also use the services so… I think it’s great you brought up RAID but I believe when Immich or any software mess things up it’s not recoverable right?

      RAID is not a backup, no. It’s redundancy. It’ll keep your service up and running in the case of a disk failure and allow you to swap in a new disk with no data loss. I don’t know how Immich works but I would put it in a container and drop a snapshot anytime I were to update it so if it breaks I can just revert.
