Backup and Restore shows black images

[hhaim]

First Try

• I have two Linux servers, A (40 cores/64GB ) and B (4/8GB)
• Run the docker-compose daemon on NFS remote files (~60K images) on a A -- finished after 10 hours
• Stop the daemon on A and rsync add the files into to B
• Start the daemon on B
• All the info is there but the images are black (if I press on a image or video I get the right image or video)

Second Try

• Backup the yaml and sql from A and restore it in B
• Same as "first try" (black images)

Any idea where the web small images are stored? Is it part of the mariadb? why it wasn't transferred from A->B

Make sure to add the storage folder to B as well.
Thumbnails are stored in storage/cache/thumbnails. See: https://docs.photoprism.org/user-guide/advanced/folders/

Note: Your storage path must NOT be located in your originals path. Otherwise your thumbnails will be indexed as well!

@graciousgrey thanks.
I missed this in docketfile,. It means that the backup is not full. It would be nice to create a tar that replicate A to B.
