My biggest worry with Immich is how to future-proof the albums. With photos sorted into folders, it should be no problem to access them in a couple of decades. With Immich, I have to rely on the software still working or finding some kind of tool to dump the database.

As long as it is running on an open source database engine, I don't understand the difficulty.

You'll have plenty of time to write your exportation script before postgres ever disappear completely of all the bytes stored on our planet.

Also, are you saying you don't do backups?
