Ask HN: How do you manage your document archive?

1 pointsby mprime1about 1 year ago
Wondering what solutions other folks came up with to manage the ever-growing stashes of documents (tax returns, contracts, pictures, letters, journals, etc).<p>(This is a genuine Ask HN, I am not promoting anything or helping anyone promote. I don’t particularly like my current system and I am curious what other folks do)

(Author) at the moment I use git-annex for my primary archive.<p>The upsides are: - it’s git! Everything is versioned and easy to sync to one more place - it uses disk more efficiently than git (no double disk usage for objects and checkout)<p>The downside: - it’s a pain to get it building and working on a new system (Haskell)
