We use Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup to back up our Microsoft 365 environment, using all available options of the product: Exchange, Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint, ensuring all our employees and organization are covered in the backup. Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup helps us to restore data lost either by mistake or possibly due to nefarious activity.
Regarding our main use case for Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup, I find the implementation of the product quite easy and fast.
A quick specific example of how Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup helped with data recovery is that restores can be very granular, for example, to restore a single email message, and it can cost-effectively back up the entire Microsoft 365 environment and retain backups indefinitely.
Among the best features Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup offers, it creates a cloud backup of all aspects of Office 365, retains the backup for as long as we need them, and allows us to easily locate files, folders, email accounts, or email messages to restore them.
The level of granularity in being able to locate and restore specific files, folders, and emails has impacted our day-to-day work or response to incidents by making Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup very proactive at managing our account and assisting us in validating the configuration for any new functions that need to be implemented.
Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup has impacted our organization positively; we have restored files in many incidents that would have required end users a lot of work to restore lost data. It is now safer to move data to Microsoft 365 as we are sure that the data is backed up, which frees up resources needed for on-premises and data center.
One area where Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup can be improved is that restores are search-based, which can sometimes be challenging as users do not remember what the file name of the lost file is or when it was lost, although this is more due to the limitation of Microsoft 365, as the suite of applications that are available to back up is limited.
A feature to prioritize recovery would be nice regarding the needed improvements for Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup, although we have never needed to restore our complete environment.
Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is stable.
I find Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup to be very scalable.
Customer support is very supportive.
Previously, I used Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 and Acronis Cyber Backup Cloud, and I switched because of our need for a better solution.
I have found it very easy to configure, manage, and restore items when needed with Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup.
The reason I gave Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup a nine out of ten is that with its extremely simple setup, you connect it to your Microsoft 365 tenancy and it does the heavy lifting for you.
In terms of specific numbers or metrics, we have saved time, about fifty to sixty-five percent.
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing has been that Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is very cost-effective and affordable.
Before choosing Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup, I evaluated other options including Barracuda Essentials.
My advice for others looking into using Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is that for its price, the product is very cost-effective. For our organization, it is important to back up workers as well as team products, and other products tend to have at least limited cost to the employees, which would make them too costly since we have so many employees. Moreover, as the amount of data involved with Microsoft 365 is so vast, it is nice not to have extra costs for space used. Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is cloud-based, which may be a problem for some organizations. I gave this product a nine out of ten for the review rating.
Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup was previously named Email Protection and this edition is called Essentials. Currently, it is called Barracuda Email Gateway Defense, which they have configured as an edition-wise selling product. We are requiring majorly Barracuda Email Gateway Defense with cloud-to-cloud backup or for impersonation protection purposes or awareness training purposes.
Cloud Archiver or Sentinel can be utilized for impersonation protections.
We are a master distributor for whole pan-India.
The advantages can be attributed to DCDR purposes and the current data protection act. Globally, any country, right now even the Indian government, is approaching the data protection act where data must be stored in an Indian tenant. If any incident happens from a Microsoft outage, or account takeover or anything, a customer has a secondary copy separately, which is not connected by Microsoft. It is only a replication copy stored in an incremental backup. If once-in-a-while data from a higher authority department is lost, it can be restored anytime with this independent dependency without any Microsoft account access. Data can be restored from one user to an individual as an original user to another user.
Encryption is part of that. Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup has committed to 256-bit encryption. Data-at-rest encryption is ensured once data is stored in Barracuda Cloud tenant, as it is already encrypted from back-end independent technologies or parameters. Once the account is logged in via multi-factor authentication from the IT admin, it will depend on who has role-based access in the company organization team or IT team. This depends on them for the restoration of the data or data access permission, and how they can manage the data processing of these tenant consoles. On the user side, there is no intervention. Users cannot access their data. They are compulsorily dependent on IT independent admins who can access this data if, under any circumstances, data is lost.
The price may be higher as per the competition from local market brands like Acronis or Veeam. This may depend on SKU lines and what the customer chooses, along with the number of line items to take the backup. Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup gives totally unlimited all parameters for OneDrive, SharePoint, email, and Teams. It partially depends on the customer thinking about this process. The price may be slightly higher or as per the Indian government pricing. It is slightly higher because the Indian market is price-sensitive first. If any local, made-in-India brands are implemented so that their only data center is in India, that is not compatible with all these global standard companies regarding the architecture and deployment, or other security parameters about that.
There is nothing to report. There may be global downtime for maintenance purposes. Globally, some services want to be restarted or there may be a migration at the back-end as per the infrastructure dependency. Maybe once in a while, locally, there may be a 0.1% outage, but it is not affecting the customer as an application service.
It is part of unlimited because Microsoft gives the storage for the E1 plan from the E1 user, from general SME companies, which is approximately one to two TB of data or five TB of data. Accordingly, their back-end implemented this data deduplication and compression from the back-end engine parameters. The customer, without any capping on data storage calculation for the licensing part from the management perspective, can convince the management about the financial condition, which is very easy.
The interface is user-friendly console access which is very accessible such that an L1 engineer or any non-technical person can manage this console regarding the parameter of how this data should be backed up daily. Users get the notification of how data can be restored. Reports about the daily backup completion or restoration can be obtained. Notifications are sent over email. Without any IT engineers, a customer IT team can manage that. There is no complexity for this manageability purpose.
Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is not comparable to CloudGen Firewall because the customer's requirement is not fulfilled as of now as a UTM parameter or UTM trend, which was WatchGuard or other brands. CloudGen is for very multinational companies, which totally agreed about this parameter implementation about SD-WAN and everything. If it globally fulfills the requirement, then we can approach it.
Installation is very easy and not complex.
Granular recovery is an option, but the IT admin must perform these two activities.
Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup support is 10 out of 10. Once a customer buys any product, they can instantly get support from the Barracuda product serial number with this local team. We have locally in Made in India, Bangalore, but it is a global American team that will, within half an hour, get instant support. This includes initial support for how to run the setup, initiate the setup for the configuration, setup, auditing, or anything.
Microsoft Planner was declared by the Microsoft E1 plan. Accordingly, Microsoft Planner automatically integrates with Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup and even Entra ID.
The product rating is 10 out of nine or 10 out of eight. That is fine. Eighty percent of the time, once any customer closes the implementation and buys the license, they have no complaints about the product being very complex from the product support side.
We have been using this product for more than 12 to 13 years.
Majorly, issues arise due to an outage or unethical data deletion by users as an end-user or human error. If there is a Microsoft outage, the customer does not have any plan. Even if a customer is using a basic plan, like E1, which has only a retention period where once data is deleted from the IT guys or anyone, it only has a 90-day retention period. Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup gives an unlimited retention policy for the backup for all the parameters. That is the first point. The drill-down on the parameters, if customers do not plan for any endpoint backup for the separate user implementation, that is why it is very easy for deployment for any end-users who are coming from, right now after working from home due to COVID-19. The main purpose of this OneDrive data from the customer perspective is all the data should be stored on a OneDrive tenant. They do not have any dependency on the OneDrive data for individual computers and users, whether they were connected online or not.
Improvement, right now, as per the Microsoft inventions about the technologies, accordingly Microsoft and Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup are both integrated with each other. Accordingly, once Microsoft gets any advantages for the backup or any IT circumstance modules, they can integrate accordingly. The overall review rating for this product is 9 out of 10.
I utilize Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup to provide a more complete backup environment for our Office 365 environment. It is one of the few solutions that backs up all aspects of our tenant: Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams, and our Entra ID. I monitor the successful backups and then utilize the recovery feature when our users need to recover a file, folder, or an email.
Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup has positively impacted our organization by boosting our security posture from 40% to 70%. It has allowed me to retain data for our employees who are no longer with the company without requiring us to maintain any Office 365 license.

It is used to find and restore important Microsoft 365 data quickly and even in the event of ransomware or other cyber threats. Malware detection on restore provides additional protection as it scans data before it's restored to the production system.
The granular restore feature helps me restore data lost either by mistake or by possibly nefarious activity easily.
Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup features are easy to set up, fast since it's a cloud-to-cloud solution, and restoring is simple.
Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup helps me worry less that in the worst-case scenario, mailboxes and Teams are easily restorable to continue with our online data restore or data archiving, which is very fast and data storage. It also provides useful instances where a user accidentally loses or deletes an important email or file in their mailbox or team, as it can easily restore what has been lost.
When performing a restore with Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup, the search filter and the mailbox filter button can be confused depending on what I want to achieve.
Also, when searching for a user to restore, the feature does not work correctly.

Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup has positively impacted my organization by helping us with lost productivity when someone deletes a cloud-stored item and we can retrieve it easily. With wrong creation of Teams and no owners assigned, we get notified. It helps me worry less that in the worst-case scenario, mailboxes and Teams are easily restorable to continue with online learning at a very low risk. It also proves useful, for instance, where a user accidentally loses or deletes an important email or a file in the mailbox. The team can easily restore what has been lost.
Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup can be improved by addressing that when performing a restore, the search filter and the mailbox filter can be confusing, depending on what you want to achieve.

I previously used Veeam Data Platform.
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that the price is more cost-effective compared to an M365 backup solution. The setup was straightforward and easy.
I have seen a return on investment as we have been able to save approximately 65% of our cost compared to the previous tool when we were using M365 for all users as our backup solution. It is now safer to move data from M365 as we are sure that the data is well backed up. This has freed up resources needed for an on-premises data center. We have also been able to restore files in many incidents that would have required end-users a lot of work to restore lost data. This has saved time and cost. It has also improved our data since we have not had any data loss since we started using this tool.
I chose 8 out of 10 because it cost-effectively backs up the entire M365 environment and retains backups indefinitely. Restores can be very granular, for example, to restore single email messages. Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is a cost-effective alternative to Microsoft 365. It is now safer to move data to Microsoft 365 as we are sure that the data is backed up. This frees up resources needed for an on-premises data center.
Before choosing Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup, I evaluated other options such as Microsoft Defender XDR. The reason why I switched from Veeam Data Platform is because Barracuda is more cost-effective and secure. We wanted to protect all our users cost-effectively. Veeam might have more features, but the cost of licensing weighs in favor of Barracuda.
A quick, specific example of a time I used Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup to restore something is when we have been able to retain the backups for as long as we need them. It allows us to easily locate files, folders, emails, accounts, or email messages to restore them. For a scenario where we needed to restore some data from a previous employee who was recently working at our organization but whose contract was terminated and who had deleted all the files, we wanted to recover all the files and data. Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup solution helped us to recover everything, and the data was successfully recovered.
The advice I would give to others looking into using Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is that for its price, Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is very cost-effective compared to other alternatives. For any organization looking to bolster their data protection, recover any lost data, and overall have unlimited data storage, Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is the best tool to use.
Overall, I am a very satisfied user of Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup. This product has helped us to restore data lost either by mistake or possibly due to nefarious activity. It has been a game-changer tool in my organization. I gave this product an overall rating of 8 out of 10.
