Overall Satisfaction with Barracuda Backup
Barracuda backup is being used to backup Windows files servers, a Microsoft Exchange server, a Mac file server, and an SQL server. It allowed us to replicate backups offsite without having servers offsite. Prior to Barracuda backup, it was required to carry tapes offsite.
- Barracuda's deduplication compression is really good to save space.
- The process to restore files is very flexible and easy.
- The backup dashboard has useful system information that is provided at glance.
- The Barracuda portal can be accessed anywhere without configuring firewalls.
- A better way to access network configurations.
- A more robust error reporting.
- The great thing about an appliance backup solution that is not a Windows based OS, is you don't have to worry as much about ransomware.
- Although, the negative side to the appliance is if you outgrow it you have to replace the appliance. It does not have the capability to expand storage.
- Acronis Cloud Backup, Veeam Backup & Replication, Unitrends Recovery Series Backup Appliance and Symantec Norton Security Premium
Barracuda's price point, and it didn't require additional servers and/or storage.
