Adhoc Paperless backup

Create a one-off backup Job from the existing CronJob template — useful before an upgrade or other risky operation.

Terminal window
kubectl create job -n paperless-ngx \
--from cronjob/paperless-backup paperless-backup-$(uuidgen)

The Job inherits the CronJob’s pod template (image, env, volumes, vault auth), so it backs up to the same destination with the same credentials.
