Cloud backup made easy

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We moved gradually towards Office365 and started using products like Teams and OneDrive. But the more information you place here, the bigger the need for a backup and simple restore possibility. Enter Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup. It was included in our Total Security offering. I just activated it and the backup was running. Need a restore: easy. I'm migrating with more confidence towards Office365.

Pros

  • Easy to setup
  • Fast since it is cloud to cloud
  • Restore is simple

Cons

  • Maybe a end user interface for restoring
  • Teams backup is maybe confusing since you backup a group instead of a team.

Most Important Features

  • Ease of use
  • unlimited storage

Return on Investment

  • It was included in Total Security, so pricing was already dealt with.
  • No direct result. Only impact is if you need to restore: it [makes this] possible.

Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud protects your M365 data

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup to backup our Microsoft 365 environment. We use all available options of the product: Exchange, Teams, OneDrive and Sharepoint. We have all our employees and students covered in the backup. The product helps us to restore data lost either by mistake or by possibly to neferious activity.

Pros

  • It can cost effectively backup the entire M365 environment and retain backups indefinitely
  • Restores can be very grannual, for example to restore single email message
  • Implemention of the product is quite easy and fast

Cons

  • Restores are search based. Sometimes this is challenging as users don't for example remember what the filename of lost file is or when it was lost.
  • More to do with limitations of M365, but the suite of applications that are available to backup is limited.

Return on Investment

  • We have restored files in many incidents that would have required end users a lot of work to restore lost data
  • It's now safer to move data to M365 as we now are sure that the date is backed up. That frees up resources needed for onpremises data center.
  • The product is cost effective way to backup M365 for all users.

Pros

  • Creates a cloud backup of all aspects of Office 365
  • Retains the backups for as long as we need them
  • Allows us to easily locate files, folders, email accounts, or email messages to restore them

Cons

  • We have never needed to restore our complete environment but a feature to prioritize recovery would be nice

How I sleep better at night - Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

On our journey to bolster our cyber security & disaster recovery plans, we decided to purchase & implement Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup.

It was always in the back of our minds that should the worst happen, our Office 365 data isn't being backed up & would be lost.

This is where Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup comes in. With it's extremely simple set up, you connect it to your Microsoft 365 tenancy & it does the heavy lifting for you.

It instantly begins to create a backup schedule & then backs up your exchange mailboxes, your OneDrive accounts, your SharePoint Sites & your Microsoft Teams.

You can check restore from backup, export out of a backup, create scheduled reports which can to to specified users, it does everything you need to have peace of mind that your data is being securely backed up.

Pros

  • Easy to navigate user interface
  • Straight forward restore jobs/export jobs
  • Easy to check status of current backups
  • Scheduled reporting

Cons

  • When performing a restore, the search filter & the mailbox filter button can be confused, depending on what you want to achieve.

Return on Investment

  • Helps me worry a little less that in the worst case scenario, mailboxes & teams are easily restorable to continue with online learning at the very least.
  • Whilst we weren't spending any money on backing up our Microsoft 365 data, I would say that it's worth every penny. Especially in a disaster recovery scenario.
  • It also proves useful in instances where a user accidentally loses or deletes an important email or file in their mailbox/team. It can easily restore what has been lost.

In my experience, disappointing. Fails to live up to promises

Pros

  • Easy to set up and manage

Cons

  • Searching for a user to restore does not work
  • More than 1 Sharepoint backup per week would be nice

Most Important Features

  • Whole of Office365 backup is important

Return on Investment

  • None yet. We will see if we have an incident where it is vital
