Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Barracuda Backup was personally the best backup product I've worked with in my 25 years of IT. The interface is friendly, the search is easy, restore is a no-brainer, and replication to another device or cloud was also very easy. The on-premise appliance was being used to backup 2 sites and replicate them to the Barracuda Cloud.
