Got #Immich installed with a solid 3-2-1 backup plan.

What’s insane is pulling down my entire Apple Photo library. This is a real commitment!

I’ve see some CLI options, will look into that.

@box464 I have iCloud Photos turned on for my iPad, and also have the iPad Immich app on my iPad. Telling Immich to backup the Recents album on my iPad made it upload my whole library to Immich, including metadata (and which photos are marked as Favorites).

If anyone is reading this (and for my notes later), you may want to throw the `--size adjusted` flag on the downloader command. That makes cropped, filtered, etc. images the preferred version over the original if both exist.

```
icloudpd --directory ~/your/download/directory \
--username your-apple-id@email.com \
--set-exif-datetime \
--folder-structure {:%Y/%m} \
--size adjusted \
--threads-num 1
```
