Create Data Retention Policies
Data is retained based on a traditional grandfather-father-son (daily-weekly-monthly) rotation model. You can specify how long to keep daily,
weekly, monthly, and yearly backups by creating data retention policies. Different retention policies can be created for different sets of data
including files, data backed up by a , and email messages.Barracuda Backup Agent
You can create one policy for all of the computers and data sources on a Barracuda Backup Server or multiple policies that each include some
subset of the data.
Modify Your Backup Rate Limit
This step is optional. Rate limits control the data replication rate to Barracuda Cloud Storage or other offsite storage locations. You can limit
Internet bandwidth consumption during peak usage times, and schedule backups for non-peak hours.
Exclude Files from a Backup
This step is optional. You can create exclusion rules that use pattern matching to identify directory or file names that are not to be backed up.
Files which are typically excluded from backups include temporary files, music, movies and other files which are not essential for business needs

256-bit encrypted VPN tunnel. The Barracuda Backup Server uses HTTPS port 1194 to send status updates to Barracuda Backup. Data transfers
are initiated by the Barracuda Backup Server rather than by Barracuda Cloud Storage.
