Requirements

Immich backup script. This script should be run daily and should backup the following immich objects. Based on recommendations from https://immich.app/docs/administration/backup-and-restore/

1. Postgres database (using pg_dumpall as recommended by Immich)
2. User upload directories (photos, videos, and metadata)

Notification

• Send a notification using the curl command to the https://notify.peterwood.rocks/lab when the backup starts and when it completes.
• Add the file names and sizes to the message.
• Ensure that the timestamps aren't appended.
• Emojis are fun in those kinds of notifications - success, failure, or warning.
• Follow the same methodology as is present in the plex backup script plex/backup-plex.sh.

Backblaze

• Backblaze B2 bucket for off-site storage - once the archived file is created, I want to send it transfer it to a backblaze b2 bucket.
• Backblaze has a CLI app available for download here https://github.com/Backblaze/B2_Command_Line_Tool/releases/download/v4.3.2/b2-linux.
• Download it if it does not exist already and place it in the immich directory.
• Their quickstart guide is here https://b2-command-line-tool.readthedocs.io/en/master/quick_start.html
