Comment on Service for letter/PDF archival

Note that just because everything is digital doesn't mean something like that isn't necessary: If you depend on your service provider to keep all of your records then you will be out of luck once they ... stop liking you, go out of business, have a technical malfunction, decide they no longer want to keep any records older than X years, ...
So even in a all-digital world I'd still keep all the PDF artifacts in something like that.
And I also second the suggestion of paperless-ngx (even though I'm not using it for very long yet, but it's working great so far).

Of course. My setup now is a Proxmox server + a NAS. What I’m planning to do is to install a service for this to Proxmox, then have the files synced over NFS to the NAS, which then backs them up every night to Backblaze. And of course I need to have the paper copies too, but to be able to search, tag and archive the documents is great when you need to remember a thing X that was mentioned in a paper I got back in 2014.
