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.

      I’m looking for a solution for both servers and clients. I do have nextcloud and could use it to sync files from some of the client machines to a server that gets backed up, but I haven’t had a lot of luck with the nextcloud cli in the past. It also doesn’t preserve things like ownership/permissions :(
