Paperless cloud backups

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.

@MalReynolds Rclone can encrypt, but I also like to have another avenue to access my documents in case for some reason I can't accessy homelab.

Cryptomator has an android app, haven't used it in anger (It's not a backup until you restore successfully), but it's there.
