Some documentation on how I setup backing up my paperless-ngx documents to dropbox using rclone and some custom code

If you encrypt at home it doesn’t matter where you do offsite. See Cryptomator for an easy platform agnostic approach. Why trust the bastards?

Ah, should have updooted darntootin, oh well. Still, OP, a bit more detail (like I encrypt with rclone, would have been nice.) Cool. Got my own system, but anything that helps…

Restic is a good backup tool with encryption. Cryptomator is awesome but it doesn’t do backups, just storage.

Completely correct. It’s a useful tool for people protecting their precious memories, not an ongoing protection of an OS state.




I use restic to backup my paperless documents to a Hetzner Storage Box. The setup was easy and I am independent of US cloud hosters.

@darntootin I don't see how Proton is all that more trustworthy, but encryption is a good idea, and my method works fine for both since rclone already supports proton (rclone.org/protondrive/) and encrypting your data pre-copy (rclone.org/crypt/)

How are you handling versioning and deleted files?

It seems like Restic would be a better option? It only backs up changed files and handles versioning, encryption, deduplication, and some fault recovery allready. You wouldn’t need all of the other layers like the export script and float.
