Backup location - Githubissues

The bug

Hi, I have set the automatic backup but nothing is written to the location I defined. am I doing it right?

in the documentation (https://immich.app/docs/guides/custom-locations/) it says to use BACKUP_LOCATION, but on another page (https://immich.app/docs/administration/backup-and-restore/) it says something else 'UPLOAD_LOCATION/backups'

which one should work?

The OS that Immich Server is running on

Version of Immich Server

Version of Immich Mobile App

Platform with the issue

[ ] Web
[ ] Mobile
