All types of documents go into a paperless ngx. All documents are tagged properly so that I can find them again. Also the search worked quite well so far. I’m still archiving the previous years currently, as I set up everything this year.

Backups via restic end up on backblaze. Haven’t gotten around to set up the local backup. This is a good reminder to do so. :)

The photos end up in iCloud and Adobe with a backup in backblaze. Not so happy yet with this solution. But most alternatives I tried weren’t as comfortable.

Edit: The paperless ngx server is a low power machine that runs in my local network.

Same here, paperless changed my life. At my previous place I was also using one of the services where you get assigned an address with a fake unit number and they receive/scan/email all your post. The current country has much less paper mail, so I stopped, but would recommend that approach in general.

I'm also mirroring the family Google photos locally and backing it all up to rsync.net.

Regarding retention - everything gets kept, I don't care about retention rules. Things are tagged so a payslip from 2001 is still there if I ever need it, but I won't see it otherwise. It would cost more to think about it that the few hundred MB that it costs in storage space.

Interesting solution. Looking at the pricing for rsync: do they charge you for data transferred or data at rest? Or maybe I’m misunderstanding their pricing altogether. Also what are you using to actually sync?

You get access to a shell via ssh, https://www.rsync.net/products/platform.html

Looking at, https://duckduckgo.com/?q=site%3Arsync.net%2Fproducts&t=ipho...

You have rclone, sftp, rsync, restic, borg, synology and other.

My understanding is there’s no bandwidth pricing.

(I’m sure they’ll show up and clarify it. Amazing they always seem to do so)

Thanks - this is awesome. I will investigate. Might solve the problem I’ve had forever!

There is, in fact, no charge for usage/transfer/ingress/egress.

We would be very happy to have you.
