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.

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.

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.

Our previous recovery & backup solution did not give us the reliability and protection we were looking for.  The software based platform needed a dedicated storage, which required other skills to maintain and a complexity (with compatibility etc) in the simple task of backing up our data. We needed a backup or secondary Device to ensure reliability. 

With Barracuda backup solutions, we have a complete and all-round data protection in place. The solutions comes with the backup platform and the required hardware for running the backup application and most importantly the storage required for backup. All in one, compatibility, multiple management platform, all this was gone. What we liked also was the unlimited amount of devices that could be backup , it only depended on our storage capacity (Model we purchased). Replication was easy as Barracuda backup comes with box-to-box replication (one simple configurations) , and a third level - Cloud Replication. Based on this, our reliability , availability and data protection was as it optimum. The IT team gained in time managing backups and restores, and could use these time for the development of further projects.

We are able to give more control to lower level techs, because it is not over engineered and too complex to hand control over without training.

The backup has provided solutions that are very helpful to all clients. For example, we have customers who have multiple branches who used to backup things on premises. It was a really hectic process because the branches were remote. With Barracuda, we put everything under one account and they back up all the data from different branches into the same repository. They can restore all these accounts from a single backup.

It reduced really the overhead for storage.

It allows us a low cost backup solution for hardware-based, VMware, and Hyper-V systems all from a single platform. Also, it provides us with cloud replication at a reasonable cost.
