What is the best/cheapest way to have all my computers and servers in my home lab backup to NAS storage? I would like a centralized solution where I can check the status of backups for my machines. This will be for about 5 or 6 machines. are there any cheap or free solutions for this?
 
With a NAS, tjhere's no "centralized solution" as there is no server to coordinate the jobs.

You're saying "servers", what OS is running there? If you can / want to designate one of these servers as "backup", then you tailor your backup solution to that server' OS.

I have a Dell t620 server that I can run vms on, so I can run whatever is needed. I just want some sort of centralized backup system that can backup windows servers and windows client machines
