Centralized backup server (with clients)? - eviltoast

Does anyone have recommendations for centralized backup servers that use the server/client model?

My backups are relatively simple in that I use rsync to pull everything from remote machines to a single server and then run restic on that server to back them up and also copy that backup to cloud storage.

I’ve been looking at some other software again like Bacula/Bareos/UrBackup and wondering if anyone’s currently using one of them or something like it that they like?

Ideally I’m looking for a more user-friendly polished interface for managing backups across multiple servers and desktops/laptops. I’m testing Bareos now, but it’ll probably not work out since the web ui doesn’t allow adding new jobs/volumes/etc.

    its supported AFAIK, you should be able to use all the features, they make money on both the hardware and services like hyperbackup.

      If you ever want to use DSM, you can use the dockerimage of virtual dsm

      No need to own a Synology, no limits, no account required ☺️

        That is certainly neat, I’ve never seen kvm in docker before. Thanks for the tip, this will help to at least evaluate it!
