Barracuda Backup Pros and Cons

Barracuda Backup is an excellent tool that has an innovative and easy-to-implement user interface, this allows you to create backups in an automated way that are stored in a fantastic cloud to be restored when you need it, thus guaranteeing the security of files 24 hours a day, what I like the most is that it has a deduplication quality that significantly reduces the size of the backup, which sets it apart from other competing software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everything is positive in this software, I can say that it adapts very well to my needs when I have presented problems, the support system has solved it efficiently in a matter of minutes, in terms of implementation costs, I think they are adjusted to the quality of its services and can easily be acquired by any type of company.

The amount of data I can back up and send out to the cloud with ease.

The free agents, Vmware integration, the fact that I can spin up a recovery point and attache it to VMware right of the Backup device. Ease of setting up Backup sources and schedules.

This device also uses Global Deduplication so the local backup size is not as large as other vendors would create.

Support is great and they can easily get in to help with any issues you are experiencing and can also access parts that are in "Admin" areas to see what may be holding up a process or issues that you wouldn't be able to see.

The backups are fast and with VMware, they use CBT (Change Block Tracking) and it will only backup changed data.

It can backup MAC OS, Windows, VM, and Physical. This is a huge deal to me as Veeam would only do VMs up until recently and I still feel like the Global deduplication with the Barracuda is superior to most other devices or software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The restore process is a little cumbersome. It can take ages to search if you are looking into a folder or drive that has a lot of previous restore points. The GUI needs a facelift in this department like the rest of the GUI has gotten. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For some time I have been in the exhaustive search for a software that is efficient and totally safe to be able to have it as my main backup solution, a search that I finish at the moment I found Barracuda Backup.

Barracuda Backup is a really fantastic software that allows me to make backups based on files and images that can be quickly restored in bare metal or in the cloud in an incredibly easy way, thus guaranteeing the protection of all my data against cyber attacks or hardware failures. One of the characteristics that I like most about this great software is that it has a very good deduplication, the block-level storage is brilliant for files, the interface is really very intuitive what makes it easy to implement and the cost of the plans It is very affordable which facilitates the acquisition for small and medium enterprises.

So far I do not find any negative characteristic relevant enough to complain about, since in general the software works very well and adapts perfectly

 to my needs and if there were any inconvenience, the technical support team is highly trained to solve it very efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Barracuda Backup usually has a fast deployment. If there are problems such as files that are not backup or a big folder in the database, you receive an email offering you all the data you need about it. Also, the database software allows a user to quickly access archives from everywhere even after some days have passed. With no doubt, Their smart, Barracuda Backup is a well knowledgeable and highly efficient brand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The system was a bit slow a couple of months ago until the latest version was released, but changes were made to the recovery of a straight line. Once the system is in network mode, some choices are restricted if you sign into the local computer directly. For example, those of us that owned the system before are now obliged to switch to or adhere to the cloud template, which won't happen to the newest users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the various ways I can backup my environment, Agentless, Agent-based, physical, virtual, all my servers and other things in the environment can be backed up. I also like that I have a local copy of my data and that it sends up the deduplicated and compressed data securely up to their cloud. I have had Ransomware in the past and have recovered in less than 1 hour with the Barracuda restore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It does take a long time to search through various backups especially if you back up that devices or server often. It can take a begrudgingly long length of time to find a file on a server from a specific date. I also dislike the cost of upgrading in size of the backup device, it is not cheap and then they barely give you much credit for the old device. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When using Barracuda Backups, error reports are done perfectly and customer support is very useful and it's available 24-hours a day. It allows you to hold lots of data, so you wouldn't have to think about just how much you are shipping offsite. This addresses normal user or client remote backup and restoration.

Barracuda Backup schemes can not be specified to go to the internet, but must also be securely encrypted, which consumes local storage. Also, when making backups it suddenly shows an error message. This doesn't happen many times, but I can't tell what the failure is because the error message disappears too quickly. I haven't been able to save a non-Windows file sharing explicitly.

I like this Barracuda tool because it guarantees the protection of data and information so that spam and virus intrusion are ignored and this is thanks to the fact that this software makes backup copies in the cloud without having to depend on a Local storage and the best thing is that it allows the user to choose how to create their backups, since it gives the option to do it on demand or simply in an automated way which makes it much easier to adapt to the needs of each user In addition, carrying out its operation is simple and if you have any doubts about the use of the software, going to your support team is a great option since they provide quality attention so that the process of creating backup copies for either SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business will be simple and secure, which is why I consider this software a good option to provide protection to all our Office 365 data through a filtering and signature matching.

The backup process can sometimes be slow but it may be due to the amount of files and information being handled to or from the Office 365.

The ease of use with this application is fantastic. It is easy to configure. and manage. All restores attempted have been perfect so far. Honestly, going from nothing to something in our Office 365 environment has been a dream. Backups are critical to a company performance and Barracuda has help us immensely.

Two things

I would like to see more configurability in the application. For instance, it would be nice to be able to break up our large exchange online backup into smaller groups.

I would also like to see better reporting. What is included is fine for an administrator but I would like to have reports that i could send to management (with pretty graphs) :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
