No, scylla-manager doesn’t have web ui.  
It’s managed with CLI sctool [CLI sctool | ScyllaDB Docs](https://manager.docs.scylladb.com/stable/sctool/#)

Thanks, @Karol_Kokoszka  
I’ve additional questions around backup and restore using Scylla Manager.

1. Can we take a local snapshot(not s3 upload) using sctool? If yes, can we restore local snapshot using sctool?
2. Does sctool have point-in-time recovery feature?

It’s not an option now. These backup locations are supported [Backup | ScyllaDB Docs](https://manager.docs.scylladb.com/stable/backup/index.html#backup-location)

The only workaround I see is to setup backup location in Minio [Setup S3 compatible storage | ScyllaDB Docs](https://manager.docs.scylladb.com/stable/backup/setup-s3-compatible-storage.html#id1)

There is an option to restore the data from backup, but it has some prerequisites like:

- Restoring the content of the tables assumes that the correct schema is already present in the destination cluster.

Scylla Manager does NOT validate that, so it’s user responsibility to ensure it. The only form of validation that Scylla Manager performs is checking whether restored tables are present in destination cluster, but it does not validate their columns types nor other properties. In case destination cluster is missing correct schema, it should be [restored](https://manager.docs.scylladb.com/stable/restore/restore-schema.html) first.

- It is strongly advised to restore the contents of the tables only into [truncated](https://docs.scylladb.com/stable/cql/ddl.html#truncate-statement) tables.

Otherwise, restored tables’ contents might be overwritten by the already existing ones. Note that an empty table is not necessarily truncated!
