It sounds like you would be looking for BorgCube (
https://github.com/enkore/borgcube ), which is "[A network] Backup
system built on Borg Backup". Analogy: BorgCube is to Borg like
GitHub/GitLab is to Git.

NOTE: BorgCube is in NO WAY ready for production use and won't be for
some time to come, since I am mostly diverting my resources towards Borg
1.1.x at this time. There are about ~two weeks of unpublished work on
BorgCube, though.

Cheers, Marian

P.S.

More broadly speaking, Borg 1.0.x was not well suited to be integrated
into some sort of "frontend" to a full-fledged backup application.

We put a lot of work into Borg 1.1.x (beta) to make this easier for
application developers, so there's some hope that Borg is integrated
into more (graphical) backup applications.

The _preliminary_ beta docs for that are at
http://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/latest/internals/frontends.html and
the meta-issue is https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/issues/654
