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?

    It sure will handle a remote VPS, it’s just not as automatic to set up as it is with PVE.

    I put this off for a long time, but I finally did it this weekend.

    Basically, you install the proxmox-backup-client utility and then run it via cron or a systemd timerto do the backup however often you want.

    You’re responsible for getting the VPS to communicate with your backup server (like pretty much any self-hosted service), so some sort of VPN between them would be good. I used NetBird for that part and I have a policy that allows access from the client to PBS only on TCP port 8007.
