Searching for a self-hosted flexible backup automation tool

I am a professional web-dev, and I am starting to work for clients who
pay me to back up and save their website / DB.
I have already my backup tool for my personal app, but I cannot for
the life of me find a self-hosted app that do what I need :

* Ability to add a new backup job
* A backup job can be composed of N step
* A step is the execution of a bash script or command via SSH
* At the end of the backup job, I can see if all went well

Do you have the perfect tool for me ?

Veeam. If you provide professional services, use professional tools.

Thank you for the name, but I don't seem to see these products being
self-hostable.
And I do provide professional services to very small clients, so I am
trying to lower my costs and provide a good service for them.


The tool you recommend seems cool, but so totally overkill for my use
case.

Maybe look into simply using rsync or rclone?

Yes, that's what I'm using right now. It works very well but has the
potential of being hard to maintain.
