I have searched the existing issues, both open and closed, to make sure this is not a duplicate report.

Yes

The bug

I am running v2.5.6, but every automatic database dump is created with the v2.3.1 string. This causes the rename operation to fail every night. Running the database dump manually works properly, though.

I have already fully brought down the stack and started it again, but the same issue persists.

The OS that Immich Server is running on

Debian 13 (trixie)

Version of Immich Server

v2.5.6

Version of Immich Mobile App

v2.5.3 build.243

Platform with the issue

Server
Web
Mobile

Device make and model

Debian VM

Can you post the output of browsing to https://my.immich.app/api/server/version-history, and of docker inspect immich_server?

Sidenote, having IMMICH_IGNORE_MOUNT_CHECK_ERRORS=true set is very dangerous and is bound to result in data loss.

Thanks for the warning about IMMICH_IGNORE_MOUNT_CHECK_ERRORS, I must have forgotten to remove it after doing some testing.

What's the full output of docker ps -a? Have you ever used a remote microservices instance or such?

The uptime is low because I just restarted after removing the IGNORE_MOUNT_CHECK_ERRORS flag.

I don't know what remove microservices are, so I think I haven't used them. This is all running on docker in a VM in proxmox with a single node.

Just to double check, these are all the containers on the machine, you haven't removed anything from the output?

Correct. On this VM, I only have immich and portainer running on docker. There are other VMs on the physical machine, but I imagine those are irrelevant here.

Can you list the files in the /data/backups directory on the container? Or UPLOAD_LOCATION/backups on the host?

The v2.5.6 backups are the ones I created manually. One thing I noticed is that these are significanly larger than the automatic ones.

Any ideas of what could be the cause? I changed the log level to VERBOSE, but there was no new information:
