Is there a tool for centralized backup management?
Good day. I'm looking for a solution for my problem, maybe someone has experience in solving a similar problem?
Separately, I note that I do not ask you to do everything for me, but simply ask you to poke your nose.
There are a dozen windows servers that are currently backed up with Cobian Backup.
This creates some difficulties, since you have to go through all the servers daily and manually check whether all backups have been made, whether they are correct, and so on.
Ideally, I would like a solution that would meet the following requirements
1) A centralized control body that is deployed under a nix-like OS, (ideally CentOS or Ubuntu).
2) The presence of a web interface for managing or at least monitoring processes.
3) The ability to make backups on the same PC from which the data is taken (to another physical disk)
4) Ideally, the ability to attach zabbix to this to monitor backups and notify about any problems.
5) Availability of an agent under Windows.
So far, I've found only two solutions, these are Bacula and Bareos, but so far I'm not sure that they meet the 3rd point of my Wishlist.
I would be very grateful if you share your experience.

Bareos is essentially the same bacula, only it can do a little more.
There is a Bat utility for monitoring. Available for both Linux and Windows.
To backup to the same machine, make it also as storage, add it to the director and specify in the task to backup to it. But I agree with the comments above. Backing up to the same machine is not a good idea.
Cobian has a mail notification setting, as well as remote cobian service management (though in its infancy). If you are not well versed in Linux, then you can try Bareos. If you do not want to understand - there are commercial backup systems.
ps: you should not make backups on the same machine.
a backup on the same machine is not a backup.
I have the same cobian uploading all backups via ftp (none of the viruses can ftp, unlike smb :) ) to one file server from an old computer with a big screw.
a script is written there that, at each login, shows the antiquity of each backup.
