hi team,
I could be obliged to replace the SD card containing the OS due to some errors.
I catch the opportunity to ask a crucial question: reinstalling the apps is very quick but making them index all data can be a mess if you have TB of data and quite a slow system.
I’m not worried about Nexcloud, that is quite fast. I’m worried about Photoprism. With all AI features switched off, it takes some days to index all my photos (25 yrs of pictures) and is also prone to make me restart the machine during this time and to divide indexing year by year to avoid restarting everytime from a scratch. It’s a mess, indeed. Frankly speaking I don’t want to experience it once again 
Being that the current SD is still readable, what data do I have to restore in the new image to restore Photoprism exactly as it is now and avoid to index the photos again?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Actually an app backup saves everything app stores on OS disk, so if you are using the same external disk it should work.
- On old os disk backup photoprism
- On new os install photoprism
- Restore the backup
In theory it should be identical.
