I generally agree. Backups for me are just something I don't want to tinker with. It's important to me that they work OOTB, are easy to grasp and I have a good overview.
The web interface is important to me because it gives me that overview from any device I'm currently using without needing to type anything into a terminal. The OOTB is important to me since I want to be able to easily set this all up again even without access to my Ansible setup or previous configuration.
To each their own. I'm not saying your way of doing this is wrong. It's just not for me. This is just my reasoning / preferences. It's also the reason something like borg wasn't my chosen solution, even though it's generally considered great.
I understand your position, though I always have access to a terminal pretty much so I still don’t see the point of a web UI.
Though I realize I’m in the minority here.
