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?
