entire system backups onto the server - how? - eviltoast

Hey there, I have a (very) small Ubuntu server and I was dabbling on the idea to do system backups (entire system, meaning, if the disk of the said pc fries, I can get another one, put the info from the backup on the new disk, works immediately afterwards). I have a couple of Linux mint machines and a windows one. I searched a lot out there and found several names, from rsync to Borg backup.But ultimately I don’t really know if these solutions would fit my use case.

So the question is: is there a feasible way/service that can be self hosted to do backups of local machines, similar to an image backup? Or, if you believe there are better ways to do it, can you please mention it?

Thanks in advance

    What can also be a good option is urbackup. it supports different operating systems full image backups of windows clients. Not entirely sure if it supports image backups of a linux clients how ever.
