Backrest wraps the restic backup tool in a web interface you can open locally or remotely. You create a repository or import an existing restic one, define scheduled backup plans, and maintenance tasks such as pruning and integrity checks run in the background. You can browse snapshots and restore files, get notifications on success or failure and run commands before and after a backup. Destinations are anything restic supports, including S3, B2, Azure, SFTP and local folders, plus rclone remotes. Limitation: it is a relatively young tool maintained mainly by one developer.
