I’ve always had a weird feeling about FUTO, but I thought them giving money to open source projects can’t be that bad. Now I hope they don’t fuck up Immich.

Oof sorry, that sucks.

What are the reviewers of these PRs doing? Out-of-scope PRs can be rejected and closed, no?

Yawn

Well, that makes the recalls easier to manage.

It’s also not available yet with a planned release in 2026.

I’ve had great success with restic. It will handle your 4TB just fine, here’s some stats of mine:

Total File Count: 78374
Total Size: 13.324 TiB

and another one, not as large but with lots of files

Total File Count: 1295210
Total Size: 2.717 TiB

Restic will automatically deduplicate your data so your duplicates won’t waste storage at your backup location.

I’ve recently learned about backrest which can serve as a restic UI if you’re not comfortable with the cli, but I haven’t used it myself.

To clean your duplicates at the source I would look into Czkawka as another lemming already suggested.
