Barracuda Backup Service
The Barracuda Backup Server combines automatic local data backup via the Barracuda Backup Server, a dedicated hardware appliance, with secure online backup to two redundant data centers in separate geographic locations.
- Automatic backups. Administrators set the schedule for how often backups should run throughout the day. This eliminates the risks associated with manual backup techniques.
- Full Local Backup. The Barracuda Backup Server offers sufficient storage for a complete copy of an organization's current and historical data.
- Local Restore. Administrators can restore data directly from the Barracuda Backup Server at local network speeds. This is the quickest way to recover lost data or recreate historical data from local backups.
- Secure, Redundant Replication. Multiple layers of encryption, including AES 256-bit, protect the integrity of data transferred offsite using Barracuda Backup. Barracuda Networks' two offsite data centers use highly redundant disk-based hardware in a fully encrypted and secure format.
- Alert Notifications. Barracuda Backup automatically provides email alerts to administrators when service issues are detected, including when the Barracuda Backup Server goes offline. Other notifications are sent when errors or file warnings are detected in backups, or when, expected files for backup are missing.
- Regulatory Compliance. Barracuda Backup encompasses the security requirements to cover a wide range of industry-specific regulations such as HIPAA, for the healthcare industry, and Gramm-Leach-Bliley for financial organizations.

We love our new Barracuda SPAM Firewall. We knew we had a SPAM problem but never knew the extent of it, 80% of our incoming mail was SPAM. We were managing without the SPAM filter but now that we have the Barracuda in place we don't know how we ever lived without it.
Thank you Barracuda Networks & Optrics Engineering!

Flex-n-Gate, Systems Admin
I just wanted to let you know that we have decided to keep the Barracuda. As a matter a fact, we wouldn't dream of giving it back. The box is doing an excellent job of reducing our spam to an almost non-existent state.
As well we were very pleased with the Tech Support provided by
Shaun [from Optrics]. He is very knowledgeable and always steered us in the right direction.
