Normally the scheduled operations would be done from the
server side but it will automatically find which machines
are normally turned off at night and retry those during
the day.  There is a web interface where you can
request unscheduled backups from the client side as well
as the restores.  That seems natural to me, but I
suppose you could script the web access from the client
if you really wanted to control the schedule there.  It
sends email on failures.

Yes, the web interface provides that.
