FAVORABLE

“Reliable Backup with Efficient Performance, but Outdated Restoration and Limited Options”

5.0
Nov 24, 2025
Barracuda Backup honestly helped us a lot, but they really need to update their backup restoration methods. However, they remain very reliable.
Deputy CISO
50M - 250M USD, Manufacturing
CRITICAL

“Diving into Barracuda's Deployment Ease and File Recovery Challenges”

3.0
Jun 4, 2024
For deployment and ease of individual file recovery, Barracuda fits the needs of our organization. The deployment took about 30 min for the initial configuration and about 1min per server. This allows us to very quickly have an all encompassing disaster recovery. To recover the data, the you have the option of the same location: Download it to another location or recover it to a different server. The versatility of recovery is a welcome change from competitors.

Barracuda Backup Likes & Dislikes

Like

It consumes little memory and doesn't seem to be performing backups while you're working on the servers or CPU's.

Like

The ease of deployment and management allows even non-technical staff to recover files when needed. The support staff they have for deployment of the backup solution allows anyone to setup and configure as long as they have admin rights to the computer. Prior to procurement their sales staff will assist in giving you the best options so you are not buying more than you need.

Like

Barracuda Backup is secure and offers a secure all-in-one backup solution.

Dislike

There are limited options for performing or downloading a data backup. There are no easy virtualization options.

Dislike

When recovering a VM the steps to recover were convoluted and if setup incorrectly it would fail. However, there was no log to let you know why it failed. This resulted in longer downtime and support calls. When having large recoveries, the time to restore was longer than competitors as they did not have a 10gb port allowing for faster data transfer. When we were running low on available storage to upgrade it required a larger investment in new hardware instead of new drives.

Dislike

So far, everything is fine.
