Backups for Mac OS X/Linux/UNIX (SSH Connections)
Barracuda Backup uses an SSH (Secure Shell) client to access data contained on Mac OS X or Linux / Unix based computers
running an SSH daemon. The SSH client uses public key cryptography to establish a secure connection to the SSH daemon.
You must configure SSH access to any Mac OS X or Linux / UNIX computer you want to back up. Follow the on-screen instructions
on the page according to the operating system.BACKUP > Sources > Add Computer
Directory-Based File Shares
When you back up a file share you must specify the share name on the network before you can select the folders to be backed up.
On a Windows machine, a share name can be a drive volume such as "C$", or a folder and its associated subfolders such as "My
Documents". At a minimum you will need access to the data that you are backing up and or to theRead Change Access Full Control
shares in order to perform a restore. For Mac OS X and Linux / Unix-based computers with SSH connections, the share name should
be the entire path to the directory you would like to back up, e.g., /home/<user>.
When you select folders for backup you should begin by selecting the folders at the top of the folder tree hierarchy, and then deselect
folders lower in the hierarchy that you do not want to back up. You can also specify an optional exclusion rule, which is applied when
the backup runs to rule out files that do not meet your back up criteria.

before you can select which mailboxes to back up. In addition to the authentication information provided on the Barracuda
Backup web interface, you must configure the Message-Level settings on your Exchange or GroupWise server.
