Photos with Hyper Backup

Hi :-)

I spent some time getting all my photos moved from both the Apple/Google world into Synology Photos, and I'm quite happy so far ..
Now I'm about to set up some cloud backup for my new mega-collection, looks like Hyper Backup is the way to go :-)

Just one question regarding this: I spent a lot of time correcting dates on heaps of pictures/videos, so they now show up correctly on the timeline in Photos.
In case my NAS should die on me, I should then be able to restore from a Hyper Backup to an empty Synology Photos on a new system.
Allegedly all settings, face recognition data, pics and videos should then be restored, so my question is: Are all these manually edited dates of pictures/videos gonna be the same after restoring, or can I risk that they go back to their original dates, which would of course not be very desirable? Has anyone tried this?

Thanx in advance, people :-)
 
Welcome

Metadata is part of SP database, so restoring the whole platform or item will retain the data in question
Allright, so the original files aren't altered then, but as long as the database is retained, I guess it doesn't matter then, all good :-)
Thanx a lot!
 
Adding some info. In fact when setting up your Hyperbackup you can opt to not only backup folders (mappen, see picture, in Dutch), but also app data and app dbases.
