How does the paperless document backup work? Is it just the folder of PDFs renamed with an ID by paperless, or do you have a way to meaningfully structure the files for use outside of paperless?
It only does a backup of media folder in paperless, so its not organizes in a meaningful way. But I never organize my documents anyways.
Ah, yeah, I backup like that too, just by backing up my docker bind mount directory. I was hoping you had a script that renamed them to their name in Paperless or something instead of the "000001”, "000002” naming they get from paperless. With thousands of documents I'm not sure how someone could find what they are looking for if paperless itaelf wasn't available.
My family relies on OCR to find documents anyways. So of I'm gone, they could just upload it to onedrive or something similar and search that way
