| # Backup and Restore | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## Database | ||||
|  | ||||
| :::info | ||||
| Refer to the official [postgres documentation](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/backup.html) for details about backing up and restoring a postgres database. | ||||
| ::: | ||||
|  | ||||
| The recommended way to backup and restore the Immich database is to use the `pg_dumpall` command. | ||||
|  | ||||
| ```bash title='Backup' | ||||
| docker exec -t immich_postgres pg_dumpall -c -U postgres | gzip > "/path/to/backup/dump.sql.gz" | ||||
| ``` | ||||
|  | ||||
| ```bash title='Restore' | ||||
| gunzip < /path/to/backup/dump.sql.gz | docker exec -i immich_postgres psql -U postgres -d immich | ||||
| ``` | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## Filesystem | ||||
|  | ||||
| Immich stores two types of content in the filesystem: (1) original, unmodified content, and (2) generated content. Only the original content needs to be backed-up, which includes the following folders: | ||||
|  | ||||
| 1. `UPLOAD_LOCATION/library` | ||||
| 1. `UPLOAD_LOCATION/upload` | ||||
| 1. `UPLOAD_LOCATION/profile` | ||||
