I have recently repurposed and old Hp Stream to a home server and successfully run Immich. I really like it and even a small 500GB disk is way more than the 15GB Google offers.
My issue though is about backup. I would only be comfortable if all the data is backed up in an off-site server (cloud).
But the back up storage will probably cost as much as paying for a service like ente or similar, directly replacing Google photo.
What am I missing? Where do you store your backup?

So you just mount the immich folder in the duplicate container? Or run it native?
Immich and Duplicacy both run on my unraid server. Duplicacy just watches the Immich pics folder and backs that up nightly.
