Looking for photo organization software (slrpnk.net)

Looking for some software to help organize my photos which are currently spread out across lots of random backups. Something that displays the metadata usefully and identifies identical photos would be a big help.

Does NOT need to sync to phone or anything, just need help sorting things into a navigable structure on my machine locally.

I've been eyeing immich for a few years now, but I haven't committed due to concerns about how to handle backups. What is your approach?

They seem to have good builtin support. Let immich make a db backup and then add the db backup directory to your normal backup.
(And the filesystem directory with photos of course) https://docs.immich.app/administration/backup-and-restore/

I just backup the folder with the pics to my NAS on a schedule with the rest of my backups.

I mount a filesystem from a nas which is backed up to S3 with my other data.

My approach is running it in a container (podman, but if you use docker it's the same) and simply backing up the mounted folders.

Thus way I can just move everything elsewhere and just restart the container.
