Arkeep
Five servers, five cron jobs, five restic scripts nobody quite remembers writing: Arkeep replaces that archaeology with one dashboard where every backup in your infrastructure reports for duty. A small agent on each machine dials out to the central server and waits for work, so nothing listens on an agent port and machines behind NAT or a home firewall enroll just as easily as cloud VPSes. From the web interface you define destinations, which can be local disk, any S3-compatible storage, SFTP, a restic REST server, or more than forty Rclone backends, then build policies that send one backup job to several destinations at once for a genuine 3-2-1 layout. Docker volumes are discovered automatically, and databases stream straight into the backup with pg_dump and mysqldump instead of fragile file copies. Retention and repository integrity checks run per destination on their own schedules. When recovery day comes, you open any snapshot in the browser, browse its files, and restore a single folder in place or somewhere new. Failures announce themselves by email, Slack, Discord, or webhook, or stay silent in Healthchecks.io. Sign-in is yours to choose: local accounts with TOTP two-factor, or single sign-on through any OIDC provider.

Pluton
On a schedule you choose, Pluton backs up your folders to cloud storage and other disks, then lets you verify and restore every snapshot and see exactly what happened in a clean, self-hosted web dashboard. Three copies: every plan writes to a primary storage and can replicate to up to two more, so the 3-2-1 rule is a toggle in the plan wizard rather than a weekend project. Two kinds of media: pair a local disk or mounted drive with Backblaze B2, Cloudflare R2, Google Drive, Dropbox, pCloud, SFTP, S3-compatible buckets, or any of 70+ connectors, and press Verify to test a connection before trusting it. One place to look: the plan page charts file counts and sizes over a selectable range, a health strip colors recent runs, and a live panel counts files, bytes, and time remaining while each mirror initializes and replicates. Zero mysteries: every backup keeps a timestamped event timeline from dry run to pruning, and plan logs filter by level and task, search messages, and download as a file. Schedules run from every few minutes to monthly, including chosen weekdays; retention keeps daily, weekly, and monthly snapshots; and scripts can run before or after a job. Alerts reach you by email, Slack, Discord, or ntfy, and optional two-factor sign-in guards the dashboard.
