The situation is that I have a home server (Installed with Windows, currently) and I want to put Immich on it. I don't really want to pay for a cloud solution, as the whole point of the home server was to avoid paying for Google Photos.

Right now, I have the server set up with 4 1TB HDDs. The 3-2-1 rule specifies that a copy of the data should live on a separate machine, but would copying the data to one of the HDDs, then unplugging it, be enough? Or is having a cloud destination / another machine simply unavoidable?

If copying the data, then unplugging the HDD, is enough, could I automate the process by unmounting the drive instead? Or is unmounting not close enough to unplugging the drive?

Thanks for any replies! Sorry if these questions are kind of silly, I just couldn't find straight answers to them anywhere.
