Recently I have decided that the backup solution I have been using is far too complex for my family to figure out when I die. I began writing documentation on how they can access photos, videos, documents and so on. In that process I thought, I gotta make this simple.
I’m thinking of just having two 10TB drives in RAID 1 on my desktop that get backed up to Backblaze via restic. Backblaze and similar cloud storage providers can send you a copy of your data for recovery. I think I can sufficiently document this process.
Has anyone else come up with a similar process?
It only does a backup of media folder in paperless, so its not organizes in a meaningful way. But I never organize my documents anyways.
Ah, yeah, I backup like that too, just by backing up my docker bind mount directory. I was hoping you had a script that renamed them to their name in Paperless or something instead of the "000001”, "000002” naming they get from paperless. With thousands of documents I’m not sure how someone could find what they are looking for if paperless itaelf wasn’t available.
My family relies on OCR to find documents anyways. So of I’m gone, they could just upload it to onedrive or something similar and search that way
