Made my life a lot easier. No more looking for documents, all is in one place, fulltext search.... Don't ever want to go back

But most important: always have a backup ☝🏻

How do you run your backup for paperless? Just backup the document folder like you would anything else?

No just the data folder itself only contains the documents, but as file FILE00001.pdf

I do this with pg_dumpall and rclone. Once a day I export the database with pg_dumpall like this :

docker exec -i paperless pg_dumpall -c -U paperless > /backup/datenbank/homeserver-postgrescontainer-`date +%d.%m.%Y`.sql

And then I copy this file and the data folder encrypted to a secure cloud (Hetzner Storagebox)
