We currently use this product to backup all of our Microsoft Office 365 Emails, OneDrive and SharePoint files. We have been using this product for a few years and mostly happy with it as it securely, affordably and efficiently backs files up in a cloud to cloud format, which makes administration simple.
  • Cloud to cloud backup
  • Office 365 Backup
  • Full an partial backup
Cons
  • Prone to timeout errors with large files
  • Has long backup sessions
Barracuda Backup is well suited for an organization that is using cloud only applications and would like to have a backup solution that offers them some security against their files. I would not recommend this tool for large enterprise, as the licensing may get out of control and I am not sure the Cloud to Cloud backup would work for such large files, as it has timed out and errored out for my 150-200 users at times.

Barracuda Backup is a complete solution for Backup to Disk and Cloud.

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.
Cons
  • A better way to access network configurations.
  • A more robust error reporting.
barracuda backup is well suited for bare-metal and file backups. The fact it doesn't interface with the hypervisor for virtual backups [means] it's not a true virtual machine backup appliance.

Best cloud file backup and restore solution on the market.

Barracuda Backup is a perfect unlimited cloud backup solution that we use. This tool is used across the organization. I had no problem implementing it because its interface is excellent and easy to manage. After I finished the implementation and configuration of the schedules, you wait for error and failure notifications. Not even with the updates I had to bother, these are optimized and performed automatically at the given time. Restorations are simple as well and save lives.
  • Restoring data is very easy.
  • VMware and SQL backup and integration.
Cons
  • The alerts could be better.
  • The price seems a little expensive.
With the Barracuda Backup tool, we have all unified and centralized management. And regardless of location, we have a single console for managing cloud and simplifying everything. In our scenario, it is a large environment, and we recommend using a virtual infrastructure with a great fiber link. Backups and restoration are speedy and secure. It is undoubtedly the best solution in this field.

I've used Barracuda Backup to back up our critical server to replicate to the cloud; just one word "SIMPLE".
  • VMware backup is easy.
  • Backup replications.
  • Easy to restore from backup.
Cons
  • OS X backup needs to be more user friendly.
  • Option to use external storage to increase backup storage.
  • OS X backup agent needs to be developed.
Barracuda Backup is well suited for backup replication or backup to cloud for data recovery.

We currently use two 490 units. We use them company wide to backup our most important data along with utilizing the cloud control functionality that Barracuda offers. We backup approximately 10-12 servers including multiple shares. We run the backups on a two hour schedule to ensure the best retention of data for our users in the case of an issue.
  • The cloud control is great!! I'm able to restore files and folders from basically any machine on the Internet. I can restore either the local machine I'm using at the time, or directly to the server from which it came.
  • The user interface. Very easy to use and understand. Loads of options and configurations you can optimize for your particular needs.
  • Instance replacement. We have had an issue with one unit due to some hardware failure. Barracuda was amazing on getting this replaced quickly and getting us back on track.
Cons
  • On the restore functionality, I'd like to be able to see multiple folders revisions. Its hard to explain, but the restore function of drilling down to get certain files instead of having to download an entire folder.
  • To be able to see file / folder sizes before downloading so I could have a better idea of download times and such.
We had a to restore data from a dead server and be able to restore it to an entirely new server (bare metal) and were able to do so without any issues. I can't think of any scenarios where backups are less appropriate.
