Hi, I'm new to Photoprism and I had a quick read of back up section in the website. I have a question in regards to exporting and restoring (backing up) metadata, labels, and albums.

Lets say I dumped 15000 images and I labeled and categoriesed them in their appropriate albums...

I have 2 questions:

Does, Photoprism move images around in different folder or etc?
If I spend the time to label and create albums for that many images, will I be able to back up the information about the albums, labels and tags? (in order to restore them)

2.1 if yes, I'd appreciate you link me to appropriate part of documentation.

Edit => also is there a discord, slack or Gitter channel to ask this sort of questions? (I feel bad for raising an issue for this kind of question)

BTW decent UI and features 🌹

Found out there is a Gitter room, and I close this to copy my question there.
