The seldomly used Watched Files feature has been deprecated in firmware versions 5.2, and will not be supported for new
Barracuda Backup Servers. Note that existing Watched File Rules will continue to function as expected.
Use this page to add files to watch on a particular Barracuda Backup Server. File watch rules are used to monitor
and send email alerts when specified files have not been changed often enough or appear smaller than expected.

files or if the dump files appear to be of insufficient size. Use the BACKUP > Watched Files page to add files to
