So, I run three VPS and one rack in the closet. Currently I have Duplicati running on all four servers. What I would like to do is have one central server back up all four servers and store the backups in an offsite repository.

I’d prefer something with a good GUI. I know you purist get a hard on thinking about the CLI, and while it is a very powerful aspect of Linux, I still like a GUI.

What are my options?

Side note, I wanted to look at Bacula but their site seems nonexistent. Is Bacula defunct?

    What’s your hypervisor manager? Or are you just bare metal?

    For VMWare and Proxmox both, I would recommend the community edition of Veeam. It can handle up to 10 VMs for free.

    If you’ve got the funds as a small-to-large business, Veeam’s first paid tier, on a yearly basis, is a solid option to backup even more.

    Caveat emptor if you buy a license (or not): Veeam runs on Windows only. I have used, like, a single internal network Windows VM dedicated just to Veeam before. It has an easy to pick up UX after a little research, and the UI is clean.

    Bacula is deprecated, unfortunately.

      Veeam community edition is fine for most things.
      If you are cheeky, generate yourself an NFR license on their website.

      Edit: Veeam plans a Linux version for VBR 13.
      Veeam Agent can run stand-alone on both Linux (only specific distros are actually supported. Non-supported might work) and Windows

      I run Proxmox on the local server. I didn’t know Veeam had a community edition. The 13 gb download just finished. It’s on the list. Thanks.
