I use Restic for servers, Kopia for desktops. Restic tends to end up with problematic locks on systems that shutdown uncleanly sometimes.
Another comment recommended Kopia, I've been testing it out on a desktop and one vm and it seems good so far. Was there a reason you aren't using Kopia on the servers too?
I use restic for servers currently, but might try kopia since having a basic web ui is kind of nice to see what's being backed up.
I have more experience with Restic so I’m more comfortable with it on servers, but the lock files don’t work properly on desktops that shutdown uncleanly.
