Specifications

After you have successfully linked your Barracuda Backup Server, your Barracuda Cloud Storage service plan is activated. To ensure that you
have a sufficient amount of offsite storage space at Barracuda Networks, it is important for you to verify that the plan size is the one you selected.
View your Barracuda Cloud Storage service plan size on the tab of the Barracuda Backup web interface.STATUS
Policy-Based Security
Data retention policies allow you to specify the retention of selected files or broader data based on daily, weekly, monthly or annual time intervals.
You can create multiple retention policies for different types of data:
Files
Data backed up by the Barracuda Backup Agent (Exchange, SQL, system state)
Email messages
Retention policies are the only way to purge data; data cannot be deleted directly by a user.
How to Secure Your Barracuda Backup Server

Communication and Configuration
Administration and backup configuration that is set using the Barracuda Backup web interface is sent to the Barracuda Backup Server via a
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 or a remote Barracuda Backup Server.
Data Transmission and Storage
Data transferred between your network and Barracuda Cloud Storage, or between your network and a remote Barracuda Backup Server, is
always encrypted. File parts are AES 256-bit symmetrically encrypted before they are stored, and they remain encrypted until a restore is
requested.
Management Access
Monitor Activity - You can check the user activity page periodically for authentication attempts, changes to settings, and updates to
account information. Go to the page to see all activity for an account, including logins and when a userADMIN > User Activity Reports
has enabled or disabled replication.
Restrict Logins by IP Address - You can restrict access to Barracuda Backup to one or more IP addresses. On the paADMIN > Users
ge, click the graphic ( ) to edit a user account; enter an IP address or a range.Edit
Secure Network Access - HTTPS is always used for secure web browser communication with Barracuda Backup.
Encryption
Data transfers from the local Barracuda Backup Server to a receiving Barracuda Backup Server are always encrypted. Data is stored compressed
and encrypted at rest on the receiving Barracuda Backup Server; the local Barracuda Backup Server does not store in an encrypted or
compressed state. The most aggressive combination of symmetrical and asymmetrical encryption in the industry keeps your data stored in a
