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.

The setup of Barracuda Backup is very simple. Four to five hours is enough to do the deployment and configure lots of servers. We had six people involved in the deployment. We have two people who do only deployment, two who do deployment and support and two who do only support.

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. 

The setup is pretty fast and done by Barracuda. They do it online. We set up the equipment and follow the instructions.

It was very easy to install without any trouble. For deployment, you need only one person. The cloud-to-cloud installation was easy. It is Linux, so it took a bit more time to refine the policies and rules. The on-premises deployment takes something like half an hour to one hour. It also depends on the number of rules and users. 

The solution is easy to deploy. 

In my situation, it was quite complex because we had old servers fully updated recently. We had some issues in setting this up, as we had some conversions to do for the virtual machine. I don't really think that Barracuda is especially difficult to deploy, but given the situation in which we were here, at my premises, I think it was quite natural that we had some difficulties into setting it up.

In general, I don't think it would be difficult to set up.

The deployment took around a month. Our strategy was to convert and upgrade the servers to a level which they were compatible with the Barracuda solution. We had some conversions to do because we had some Hyper-V machines and some VM machines, and we needed to convert to VMware VMs. Once we set it up, we started the backup and we tested the rest on all other servers.

The initial setup is very straightforward. Just the usual configurations to do , networking , connectivity and so on. The second part of actually configuring our backup strategy was more easy than we expected. Reports and simple admin task is very well organised and displayed on the dashboard which makes it a great initial contact with the unit.

Its initial setup was very easy.

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.

The initial setup is not a complex process. It's very, very straightforward.

The first time we did a deployment, it only took about 45 minutes. The second time, when we had to take into account all of the backup jobs, it took about a week.

You only really need one person to handle deployment and maintenance. It doesn't take a large amount of staff.

The initial setup of this solution is very good. I am used to it. 

This solution has no issues when it comes to installation and once it is configured, including the fine-tuning, it works fine.

The initial setup is straightforward. It takes 10 minutes. One of the strong points of Barracuda is that you can go from zero to having your first backup running within 10 minutes. If you have access to admin accounts and everything else, it can happen in 10 minutes.

The installation and implementation of the product are not complex. It may be different if you want to do more complex things than we have implemented.

Extremely straightforward. You simply give it an IP address and your Barracuda account, and it calls home. Then, you can manage it from the cloud site.

It really takes about five minutes to set it up. It's all on the cloud, as I said. Straightforward. There's no appliance on the customer's side, just an account managed through the cloud. 

We expect that there will be issues once they start offering services on premium hybrid cloud just because it will be a new way of providing services. But we expect that will be minimal and they will have it tested beforehand.

Moderate, but they will help you through every step of setting it up.

Setting up Barracuda Backup is straightforward.

I performed the deployment and it took about one hour.

Barracuda Backup is very easy to set up and one individual can do it. If it is planned properly then you can be up and running in two hours.

I had indirect involvement with the setup of the solution. It was mainly done by a colleague of mine on our team.
