To back up all assets stored in iCloud without exception, you must select the "Recent" album. This operation is expected to take a long time if there are many assets in iCloud.

Can any of the mobile developers tell me if this also deletes iCloud photos backed up via immich?
Also If the user deletes the local copy via the delete buttons below the image, does this also delete the copy in iCloud?

According to #22067 it seems we no longer allow the user to prevent uploading of photos stored in iCloud as we used to.
I don't think it's necessary to mention this in the documentation but maybe #22067 should be converted to a feature request?
