Centralized backup server (with clients)? (eviltoast.org)

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.

Interesting, the synology backup software does look pretty nice. Can you run it without owning a synology nas though? I'm not finding much information about that so far after a quick search

Install Synology DSM on VirtualBox virtual machine

this will work with a number of vm hypervisors,

!synology@feddit.de can possibly help

Ohh I got it, I thought it was an officially supported thing. It looks pretty useful though, I'll do some research and try it out. Thanks!

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!
