Barracuda Backup combines storage, software, and deduplication, to ensure your data is protected against loss. Models range in capacity from 1 terabyte to 112 terabytes, to accommodate your specific backup needs. There are no per-application or per-agent licensing fees, and its single-pane-of-glass admin console makes even multi-site management fast and easy. Barracuda Backup has a wide range of offsite replication options for disaster recovery, including the secure Barracuda Cloud, remote physical or virtual appliance, and AWS. Recover to a snapshot in time or recover individual files. Barracuda LiveBoot provides fast and easy recovery for on-premises VMware environments in cases where primary storage is lost or no longer available. Barracuda Backup lets you quickly recover files encrypted by ransomware. Simply eliminate the malware, delete the bad files, and restore them from a recent backup. Recovery can take as little as an hour - and the bad guys go home empty-handed.

All Barracuda Backup purchases require a Energize Update subscription purchase for support and maintenance. Other subscriptions such as Instant Replacement, Cloud Storage, AWS Replication and Virtual Receiver are optional additional purchases.

An easy to deploy and stable solution with LiveBoot feature

What is most valuable? I have found the product's LiveBoot feature to be most valuable. What needs improvement? The tool is not user-friendly. The solution should also improve its compatibility. It is also not license-based. For how long have I used the solution? I have been working with the tool for ten y Read more

Finding data to restore is much easier than rummaging through tapes to find backups

What is our primary use case? We have two appliances at different locations. One is the primary and all the backups are going to that appliance. They're being replicated onto the secondary appliance and deduplicated. The appliances are on-premises, but the interface to control things goes through the cloud. We are a public school division with about 5,000 staff and 30,000 students. We are backing up all kinds of applications, mostly data from servers. We are not backing up individual machines or any of the personal drives, but we are backing up all the shared drives that are used by the departments in the schools. How has it helped my organization? We have been able to migrate from tapes to Barracuda Backup, and that has helped us tremendously. Before, we had to manually take out the tapes and physically transport them to a different location for disaster recovery purposes. Barracuda has definitely saved us a lot of time. If we need to restore something, it is much easier to find the data, rather than having to rummage through tapes and find the backups. And the time-to-value with Barracuda was almost instantaneous. What is most valuable? It's a one-stop shop, meaning we just program and schedule the backups, decide what is being backed up, and then it automatically replicates and deduplicates. What needs improvement? We're working with them on our file share backups. Our solution needs a little bit more fine-tuning. We're not sure if the issue is at our end or at Barracuda's end. For how long have I used the solution? I have been using Barracuda Backup for about five years. What do I think about the stability of the solution? It's pretty stable at this point. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? We have been given options if we want to scale up. They have solutions in place if needed. We don't have plans to increase our usage at this point, just because we're pretty stable where we are in terms of what data is being backed up. Some of our information is going to the cloud as well. How are customer service and support? Their customer service and tech support are absolutely fantastic. How would you rate customer service and support? Positive Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch? We used Arcserve for tape backups. The switch to Barracuda happened prior to my inheriting this project, but I believe the Arcserve solution that we had was reaching end-of-life. We needed to look at a different solution. How was the initial setup? The initial deployment was very straightforward. We had a Barracuda tech on site who helped us install and configure the appliances. After that, everything was very straightforward. We had two people involved in the deployment on our end. I was the rookie. We had to identify the data that needed to be backed up. We started with testing and time-trials to see how long it would take to back up. We then created the schedules and slowly onboarded all the backups from tape to Barracuda. Since then, it has been a matter of monitoring and maintaining. The maintenance involves period updates to the firmware and, every now and then, when we have failures in our backups, we need to either manually update the agents or find out what's happening. That's when we call Barracuda. Their techs are absolutely fantastic in helping us with issues that we cannot control from the front end. They have to go in and manipulate things at their end. What was our ROI? Our ROI is that the time we used to spend with the tape backups is being used on other projects, and we haven't had to pay for the tapes, going forward. It saves us about 10 hours per week. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? They're on par with their competitors. I haven't priced things out lately because we've had a five-year contract with Barracuda, renewing what we had before. We haven't looked at making changes yet. What other advice do I have? My advice would be to include the amount of growth expected when you calculate the amount of space you'll need, if you want to maintain the solution for a long time. The biggest lesson from using this solution is that it's like the tides, with ebb and flow. Sometimes the data balloons and we reach a threshold and, eventually, it purges and goes back down to a decent level. Also, make sure you use the retention policies properly so that the data gets purged. That's one of the things that we learned the hard way. We set up a whole bunch of servers and we forgot to add them to our retention schedule. The next thing you know, we were out of space and we were trying to figure out why. At this point, we're happy with the product. Which deployment model are you using for this solution? On-premises Disclaimer: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions. What is our primary use case? We have two appliances at different locations. One is the primary and all the backups are going to that appliance. They're being replicated onto the secondary appliance and deduplicated.

Data backup solution that allows mapping of devices directly to the cloud

What is most valuable? The main feature we like about Barracuda is that we can map devices directly to the cloud. It operates as a security device to run a backup of the cloud in case one of our physical machines goes down. What needs improvement? We are moving away from using this solution to using Veeam Ba Read more

Simple, streamline solution for Backups and Off-Site replication.

What is our primary use case? We are an MSP Company and a Barracuda Partner/Re-seller. When our clients need a Backup Solution one of the products that can avail from is created based on Barracuda's Backup Services. Our involvement in the process ranges from the initial assessment of the client's environment to determine the sizing requirements, to purchasing the hardware from Barracuda, deploying and configuring the hardware as well as the Cloud Control/Echo Platform accounts. Once the appliances have been deployed and the initial configuration has been done, the appliances are added to our Monitoring Systems and our Service Delivery team manages and operate them. Barracuda has a 5-year lifecycle for their hardware. Once the appliances go over that threshold, we engage Barracuda to replace the unit and migrate the data and configuration. How has it helped my organization? Our organization has developed a product based on Barracuda Backup. We leverage Barracuda's scale-management features that allow us to offer the solution through an "as a Service" model. In addition to the physical appliance, Barracuda offers an all-in-one solution with the Off-Site Replication to their own cloud, which simplifies the deployment and management process, consolidates the recurring costs into a single bill, which makes it easier for us to present the added value of the solution to our clients. What is most valuable? First and foremost, the ease of management/operation. The cloud management portal is intuitive and fairly simple to navigate through and so is the Local UI. Barracuda Campus is also a valuable feature, since you can have your staff properly trained to deploy and operate the solution without having to pay hefty fees to certified trainers. Their technical support is also a significant value add. Barracuda will assist you with any requests/questions you might have. Interactions with their support often turn into learning experiences for the team and their technicians will see your request through completion regardless of your familiarity with the solution. What needs improvement? Barracuda Backup would benefit greatly from adding Changed Block Tracking Support for Hyper-V. There are certain challenges with the size of the data being backed up as well with some restore processes (namely, Bare-Metal Restore) that would be greatly affected by the implementation of support o CBT for Hyper V Environments. The backup solution is fully integrated into Barracuda Cloud Control, I believe that adding orchestration capabilities to Restore/Disaster Recovery would take the product to a new level. For how long have I used the solution? Over 3 and a half years. What do I think about the stability of the solution? Barracuda BBS are very reliable units. I don't recall dealing with RMAs because of malfunctioning parts of having Software/OS failures that caused service disruption. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? Scalability with Barracuda Backup means upgrading the hardware. You might be able to assess what your storage needs will be in the future, but that could potentially mean unused resources and an unnecessarily larger bill. The backups are stored locally on the appliance's disks and Barracuda recommendations are that the disk size on the appliance should be equivalent to twice the size of the raw data you need to protect. If the raw data grows and you need more local storage, you have to upgrade the hardware and migrate configuration and binary files over to the new device. How are customer service and support? Barracuda Support, for any of their products, is always a plus. You call in, give them your serial number and, usually, within minutes you're speaking with someone that is knowledgeable about the product and can assist with completing your request/troubleshooting your issue. Escalation within their Support Team is a bit of an issue. Their most senior techs are not necessarily customer facing and you get all your updates from the techs that you initially engaged with. If there is a back and forth to gather information and validate changes, this process becomes a little to cumbersome. Overall I have had great experiences with their Customer Service and Support. How would you rate customer service and support? Positive How was the initial setup? Initial setup is very easy and straight forward. You get the new hardware, ship it to destination, configure IP Settings to it has access to internet and then link the appliance to Cloud Control for remote management/operation. Adding the data sources is also very simple so getting a brand new unit up and running if often quick and uncomplicated. What about the implementation team? We have Field Services technician that are dispatched to the client locations to deploy and rack the appliances. Our Platform Delivery team works on linking the account to our Cloud Control instance and configuring the Backup Jobs. What was our ROI? Our ROI is essentially the margins we add to the the recurring bills, since we sell a product based on Barracuda Backups. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? Because it is a single package that includes everything, they are worth the money that you need to pay for it. You are paying for the hardware, licensing, the software that runs on it, regular updates, the cloud features included with it along with the replication, and your space allocated in the cloud for replication. It is fairly priced for what you get. Most of our clients are nonprofits and small businesses who can afford Barracuda. Because they sell it as a product, there is an added profit on top of the prices that are forwarded down to them, not on the licensee, but for deploying the hardware and all of that stuff. They are fairly well-priced. What other advice do I have? Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Trouble-free, very reliable, and easy to install

What is most valuable? It is very reliable, so we don't have any issues with it. Our customers have never raised any issue with it. Basically, once you set it up and it is running, it is trouble-free. Our customers are happy. They just got a renewal for the subscription for the service. What needs improvement? It would be nice to have some reports generated on the usage of the system such as detailed backup statistics, but it is not essential. For how long have I used the solution? I have been using this solution for about two or three years. What do I think about the stability of the solution? Our customers have never raised any issues. How are customer service and technical support? We are a reseller, and we are a partner from the support standpoint. We actually don't have any issues. We never had to call their support. They are very responsive if there is ever a problem. Because it is a service, customers directly deal with Barracuda. The only time we get involved is when there is a local problem with the hardware. Everything else is handled directly by Barracuda. They provide a very good service. How was the initial setup? It is very easy. When we had our first installation, it was the first time for our team to set it up. They just went in there and followed the instructions, and it was running. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? Normally, there is the hardware on the site. So, essentially, there is a server and storage. They can price it a little lower because the customers are making a little investment upfront. Even though it is trouble-free for the end-users, and once it is set up and running, they don't have to really think about it, there is essentially an initial investment. It is not really pricey. We're actually competitive, but we are in a different market. In Asia, customers are a little more price-sensitive than in the west. It is not really a real issue. What other advice do I have? I would definitely recommend it because it has been trouble-free for us. I would rate Barracuda Backup a nine out of 10. I don't have any experience with a competing product, so my assessment would be biased.

Good compression, stable, intuitive, and easy to use for restoring files

What is our primary use case? We are using it just for daily backups of our files. We have its latest version. How has it helped my organization? It does what it is supposed to do, which is restore old files. That's its main purpose, and that's how we use it. If someone deleted something or some files are missing, they can be easily restored. What is most valuable? Its interface is intuitive, and it is easy to use when I am restoring files. Barracuda does a really excellent job at compression, which makes it very efficient. Eight years later, I am only halfway through to the capacity, which is very good. What needs improvement? The restore time can be improved. The restore time for large quantities of folders is slow. Sometimes, if I'm doing a full recovery of a server, it takes multiple hours, which probably is natural. It might also be because of our internet speed to the cloud. For how long have I used the solution? I have been using this solution for eight years. What do I think about the stability of the solution? It has been running for eight years, so I'm happy with it. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? Barracuda has a defined upgrade path, so scalability is there. We are a small company with about 40 people. We have just two people, myself and someone from the IT support, who use it when a user needs to recover a file. We also handle its maintenance and checkup. Its usage is average. We sized the number of hard drives eight years ago, and we are at about 50%. It was the right size for the future. We're nowhere near maxing it out, so I would say we're in good shape. We currently don't have any need to increase its usage. How are customer service and technical support? We called them once, and they were very cooperative. They have good support. Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch? We were a lot smaller back then, and we had an on-premise tape backup. It was probably Iomega. We switched because of the cloud. It was just about streamlining and taking away a lot of pain points. Barracuda Backup is really easy in terms of maintenance, and I don't have to worry about changing tapes. It took a lot of the in-house burden away. It is almost like you set it and then forget it, whereas back then, you had to make sure that tapes are fine, and sometimes, tapes would fail. What about the implementation team? We had a consultant to do it. Our experience with the consultant was positive. They had it working in a day or two. What was our ROI? We were in a jam one or two times, and we were happy that the backups were working. It is like insurance. You hope you never use it, but you have to buy it. The whole idea is that you back up your system and hope that you never have to restore it, but we did, and it came through. It did what it was designed to do. We have definitely got the return on investment. There was no loss of time or loss of files. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? It is about 6,900 or 7,000 a year. It goes up a little every year. Its price includes live updates, support, antivirus, and cloud storage. If I increase the cloud space, then the price would increase. It has been consistent for us. What other advice do I have? I would rate Barracuda Backup a nine out of ten. It does what it is supposed to do, and it does it very efficiently. I would give them high grades for the compression.
