Also, it was java based, and used a lot of CPU to make backups. It could be throttled, but then the backups took a really long time (hours to days).

I have seen recommendations for Borg for local backups over ssh and it has a web gui front end which may be useful. I like that it is in Python (I can read it as opposed to perl...).
