Thank you! Great info. After some reading, I went with Rescuezilla which is yet another GUI for Clonezilla. I might give the foxclone next time!

Thanks guys. I went with Rescuezilla in the end. So far so good.

Thank you for the insight. Changes are incremental I suppose. You are correct that it’s more efficient. But I kind of want to back up the whole disk since I can keep a bootable drive with it right?

First time hearing of this. Any particular reasons?

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?

This is something I should consider!

I see. This is more of a file system backup right? Do you recommend it over full disk backup for any reason? I can think of saving space.

Based. Yes. It is an option.

I remember hosting server option was somehow paid.

That’s somewhat my reason for I decided to go with Joplin

This one is such an overlooked part of this whole dilemma. The problem is NOT THAT the official servers not allowing clients without kernel level anti cheat. It’s just we don’t have an option to host our own servers anymore and we’re confined to following the rules.

I’ve been using it today. And it’s great fwiw
