Overview
The Barracuda Backup Agent provides application-aware backups for Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor-based
virtualization systems and provides support for open file backups, file attributes, and permissions, as well as
automatic data source detection.
Schedules
After your Barracuda Backup Server is installed and data sources are set up, data is collected from each data
source for the first time during an initial backup period. After the initial backup is complete, Barracuda Backup
checks for changed and new data based on the backup schedules you define on the BACKUP > Schedules
page.
Easy Restore
Introduction
From the RESTORE page, you can restore data from the local Barracuda Backup Server, from a remote
Barracuda Backup Server that has been used to replicate that system, or from the Barracuda Cloud Storage.
Restores from the local Barracuda Backup Server offer the fastest restore times. Multiple methods are
available to restore your backed-up data. You can restore single files, individual email messages, and entire
systems.
Replication
Introduction
Barracuda Backup appliances that are used to back up data from one or more Barracuda Backup appliances
are known as replication destinations. Data from one Barracuda Backup appliance can be replicated to one or
more destinations.
Backup Data Replication Configuration
Configure backup data replication to one or more other Barracuda Backup appliances on the BACKUP >
Replication page. In version 6.0 and higher, rate limits and the total number of replicated data sources for
each target are displayed in the Target List table.

Powerful Administration
Introduction
The primary way to administer Barracuda Backup is through the Cloud Control Web Interface at
https://login.barracudanetworks.com
Barracuda Cloud Control is a comprehensive cloud-based service that enables administrators to monitor and
configure multiple Barracuda Networks products from a single web interface. Barracuda Backup can be fully
administered through Barracuda Cloud Control.
Secure Administration
To further secure administrative access to your Backup appliances, you can configure Multi-factor
authentication. Multi-factor authentication (MFA), also known as two-factor authentication, is a security feature
that requires two forms of authentication to access Barracuda Cloud Control. When enabled, MFA provides an
extra layer of security to your account. Even if the user's login credentials are stolen, the attacker is unable to
access the account without the trusted device. And if the user's device is taken, the attacker cannot access the
account without the login credentials.
In addition, you can use the predefined administrator roles to restrict the scope of control that specific
administrators have for the boxes linked to your Barracuda Cloud Control Account. The predefined roles will
be discussed in detail in Lesson 5: Administration.

There are three firmware versions available for download and installation for Barracuda Backup:
Legacy Release - The previously released major firmware
General Release - The current major firmware version released by Barracuda
Early Release - Firmware not yet officially released by Barracuda, but available for early download
Updates will be installed according to the Firmware Upgrade Policy you choose.
23
Introduction
After the initial deployment, the Firmware Upgrade Policy for your Barracuda Backup appliance is set to
Manual. You can change this setting on the System > Firmware settings page, where you can also find
additional information on the installed firmware as well as an overview of available options.

page after you log into Barracuda Backup. Click Upgrade Now to immediately begin the firmware upgrade, or
click Dismiss to hide the banner until the next time you log into the web interface.
Note: If a backup job is running and you select to upgrade the firmware, the firmware upgrade is queued until the
existing job is completed.
24
Site-to-Site Replication
25
Configure Destinations
Barracuda Backup Servers that are used to back up the data from one or more Barracuda Backup Servers are
known as destinations. Data from one Barracuda Backup Server can be replicated to one or more
destinations.
Note: Before you can configure a destination, you must have the target Barracuda Backup Server serial number and
replication code. To locate these values, select the target Barracuda Backup Server in the list, and go to the BACKUP
> Replication page. The serial number and replication code are displayed to the right of the target Barracuda Backup
Server name.
1.) Select the Barracuda Backup Server in the list, and go to the BACKUP > Replication page.
2.) Click the Add a Target link.
3.) Enter the target Barracuda Backup Server IP address or hostname, serial number, and
After the status displays as Online, the two systems can communicate with each other.
Specify Data Replication Destination
1.) Select the Barracuda Backup Server in the list, and go to the BACKUP > Replication page.
2.) In the Sending Data To table in the Global Setting column, you specify whether to replicate all data to
Barracuda Cloud Storage or to a Barracuda Backup Server. To send data from diverse sources to both of
these options, do not turn on the flag. Instead, edit each data source on the BACKUP > Sources page, and
specify where its data is replicated.
26
Remove a Destination
Select the Barracuda Backup Server in the list, and go to the BACKUP > Replication page.
In the Sending Data To table, click on the Remove link beside the destination Barracuda Backup Server.
Loss of Communication
If there is a loss of communication between the Barracuda Backup Server and its backup destinations, the
data to be backed up is queued and errors are generated. Data is queued until the issue is resolved. The
queue size in the table on the BACKUP > Replication page indicates how much data is waiting to be
replicated. Not all of this data is actually copied to the destination; some of it is deduplicated as the replication
proceeds. Only those parts that are not already stored in the remote location are sent over the Internet.
27
Site-to-Cloud Replication
Overview
Barracuda Cloud Storage subscription plans provide diverse offsite storage that scales to meet your changing
data requirements. Barracuda Cloud Storage includes secure backup to two separate datacenters. Storage is
allocated in 200 gigabyte increments or unlimited and is all disk-based. The following image shows two
Barracuda Backup appliances replicating data to Barracuda Cloud Storage.
Add Systems and Select Data Sources
Set up your data sources on the BACKUP > Sources page, and specify that you want to Replicate to
Barracuda Cloud Storage on the Add Data Source page. You may have more than one data source on each
server, and each can have unique backup characteristics.
Data Transmission and Storage
Data transferred between your network and Barracuda Cloud Storage is always encrypted. File parts are AES
256-bit symmetrically encrypted before they are stored, and they remain encrypted until a restore is requested.

page.
On the Edit page, activate Replicate to Barracuda Cloud Storage, and click Save.
29
Rate Limit
Overview
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.
Your initial offsite backup may take on the order of days to complete, but all of the data is backed up locally on
the Barracuda Backup Server during this period. After the initial large transfer is complete, replicating your
data offsite should complete within only a few hours of transfer each day. By default, Barracuda Backup is
configured to run at full speed around the clock, unless you set a rate limit allowing it to only run at full speed at
defined times and at an alternate, lower speed during other times.
30
The length of transfer time it will take to get your data offsite is impacted by the compression and deduplication
rates on your data, the uplink speed of your Internet connection, the amount of data that changes every day,
and any speed limits you apply to Barracuda Backup.

Site-to-Cloud Deployment
Overview
Barracuda Cloud Storage subscription plans provide diverse offsite storage that scales to meet your changing
data requirements. Barracuda Cloud Storage includes secure backup to two separate datacenters. Storage is
allocated in 200 GB increments and is all disk-based.
32
Site-to-Site Deployment
Introduction
In a site-to-site deployment, a Barracuda Backup appliance acts as a backup or "private cloud" to replicate
data from one or more Barracuda Backup appliances. Each Barracuda Backup appliance can send data to
one or more other Barracuda Backup appliances. However, every replication of data should be initialized from
the primary backup unit. To chain backups is not possible.
33
Introduction
Barracuda Backup cannot create VPN tunnels. It is, however, possible to send the backup data through an
existing VPN tunnel created by a firewall.
34
Introduction
To further ensure data safety, it is possible to replicate data onto another Backup unit and the Barracuda
cloud. The replication is always initiated from the primary backup unit of the respective location. As soon as
the data chunks get sent off-site they are encrypted and compressed.
35
36
Lesson 3: Backup
37
Introduction
Barracuda Backup stores information in form of data chunks that consist of binary information and have no
resemblance with the original files. In addition, all backed-up information get stripped of metadata, which is
stored in a separate table and linked with the data chunks through a fingerprinting system. This storage
method enables Barracuda Backup to compare data chunks on a bit level and thereby not only to distinguish
changed information from unaltered information, but also allows deduplication independent from the original
file.
38
39
Overview
Barracuda Backup distinguishes between application-aware backup and static-file backup. While static files
can be backed up from most common network share types like CIFS/SMB or SSHFS without the installation of
additional software, application-aware backup can only be performed if the Barracuda Backup Agent is
installed on the respective system.
An exception within this system is Backup from VMHosts, which can be performed directly through the
vSphere API.
40
Introduction
Use the Barracuda Backup Agent to back up open files, permissions (ACLs), and applications. The Agent uses
source-based deduplication, in which data is deduplicated at the source using a tracking database and sent to
the Barracuda Backup appliance in a compressed and deduplicated form. Source-based deduplication
significantly decreases backup windows while minimizing the amount of bandwidth consumed on the LAN and
data stored on the backup server.
For organizations using NFS (NAS or SAN), you can implement a Linux system that can run the Barracuda
Linux Backup Agent. With the NFS mounted on the Linux system, the Linux Agent is able to protect open files
and ACLs while offering source-based deduplication for efficient backups. Only unique data is sent to
Barracuda Backup in a compressed and deduplicated state, reducing network bandwidth consumption and
backup times.
41
CIFS/SMB
Introduction
Use File Share (CIFS) backup for data shares on your server that are to be directly backed up, for example,
Network Addressable Storage (NAS) or Linux/UNIX data using SSHFS. With CIFS, the share is mounted and
backed up from the Barracuda Backup Server. Note that file share backups are unable to back up open or
locked files.
Barracuda Backup can achieve fast and efficient backups, along with ACL protection, by combining the CIFS
protocol with multi-threaded backups and inline deduplication, without the need for additional hardware or
complex NDMP accelerators. Barracudas multi-threaded backups significantly reduce backup windows, while
providing file-level protection. Inline deduplication ensures that only new or modified data is written to disk,
creating incremental backups that can be significantly faster than NDMP. This incremental-forever backup
method also limits the amount of local network traffic and storage needed. Backups can be performed quickly,
during non-business hours, leaving otherwise open files available for backup.
42
SSHFS
Overview
SSHFS enables you to interact with files and directories located on a remote system using the SSH protocol.
SSHFS functions as a client for SFTP, which handles the actual data transfer and management. The explicit
benefit of using SSHFS in comparison to the use of SFTP alone consists in the possibility to actually mount a
directory or drive through the SSH tunnel, which cannot be accomplished using SFTP alone.
For more detailed information on the use of SSHFS with Barracuda Backup, please refer to the Barracuda
TechLibrary.
43
VMware Backup
Introduction
Depending on the systems installed on the VMhost, you can optionally use the Backup Agent for specific guest
systems or to use the vSphere API to back up the entire host. The main difference is the scope in which a
backup is performed. When using the Barracuda Backup Agent, you have all options you would have on a
regular system, which means that you can create granular backup and exclude certain file types. However, a
host backup through the vSphere API allows you to create a backup from all running systems at once.
One of the main criteria when deciding which method to use is how it should be restored: Is it required to
restore individual guests on the system or can it genereally be restored on the host level if needed?
44
45
46
47
Overview
Microsoft System State Backup allows you to secure a whole system including all configuration settings and
files. These systems can be restored to the same machine or to a machine with identical components.
The Microsoft System State Backup can be used in combination with Barracuda Bare Metal Live Recovery.
For more detailed information, refer to the respective chapter in this handbook.
48
Hyper-V Backup
Introduction
The Barracuda Backup Agent provides application-aware backups for Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor-based
virtualization systems and provides support for open file backups, file attributes, and permissions, as well as
automatic data source detection.
49
Systems
The configuration of the Barracuda Backup appliance through the web interface is fairly straight forward.
Navigate to Backup > Sources and click Add a Computer to enter the setup process. If you have multiple
Backup appliances connected to your Barracuda Cloud Control account, you will have to select the appliance
that will be used as destination from the list in the Default field on the left side of the interface.
Enter a Computer description and a Computer name (a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) or IP address
is needed to identify the computer within the network) in the respective fields and choose one of the options
listed in the Computer type drop-down menu:
Microsoft Windows
Novell Open Enterprise Server
Linux / Unix
Mac OS X
VMware
Note: It is recommended to use an IP address as Computer name because this identification option shields you from
potential DNS problems..
Ensure that the Barracuda Backup Agent is installed if you intend to run an application-aware backup.
If you tick the check mark in the Enable File Share Backups for Windows, Linux, or Unix systems, you can
enter and test the credentials for the network share you want to back up. If left unchecked, the system will
asume that you intend to run an application-aware backup.
For the other options, you will have to provide credentials depending on the option. If you intend to back up a
Microsoft SQL Database or an Exchange Server, select Microsoft Windows as Computer type
Click Save to complete the first step of the configuration.
50
Data Sources
The options provided during the next step depend on the Computer type you intend to back up. For Microsoft
Windows, you will have the option to choose between the use of the Backup Agent or to run a message-level
backup for an exchange server. If in the previous step the check box for File Shares was ticked, you will also
be able to select an SMB file share as Data Source. In case of backing up a Unix system, the SSHFS option
will be shown.
If you are using the Backup Agent, you can test the connectivity between your Backup unit and the client
system, configure credentials if you want to back up an SQL Server that is protected, and select a schedule
that should include the backup you currently configure.
If you have not configured it globally, you can also configure replication to Barracuda Cloud Storage or an
another Backup unit.
51
Scheduling Overview
Any data sources that do not have a schedule defined are, by default, backed up nightly at 8:00 PM local time.
When Barracuda Backup identifies new or changed information, each file is analyzed at the bit level, and only
the new bit sequences in the files themselves are copied and transferred, saving both bandwidth and storage
space.
To add a new schedule, click on the Add a Schedule button on the top right corner of the Backup >
Schedules page, and define all parameters on the following page:
Schedule Name - Enter an identifying name for the schedule
Items to Backup - Identify the computers and data sources to back up with this schedule. Unselect the
check box Apply to All Computers and Data Sources for this Barracuda Backup Appliance to display a
list of all available computers and data sources from which individual ones can be selected. This can include
whole system groups, individual appliances, or specific directories on one or multiple systems.
Schedule Timeline - The days on which this backup schedule is to run. In general, backups should be run
on each day when the data may change.
Daily Backup Timeline - Identify the time the backup run begins. To repeatedly execute the backup,
activate the Repeat check box and define the interval in which the selected sources should be backed up as
well as a time to stop the backup process.
SQL/Exchange Backup - When performing a backup for SQL databases or Exchange servers, Barracuda
Backup provides several options for performing full and/or log backups.
Select the Complete option from the Backup Type drop-down menu to perform a full backup, or select Log
for a log backup. If the Backup Type is set to Smart (recommended option), the system will decide which of
the two options is appropriate according to the set Minimum Threshold and Maximum Treshold
parameters.
Note: After a full backup is performed, the Barracuda Backup performs transaction log backups until the minimum
threshold is met. After the minimum threshold, the Barracuda Backup Appliance will perform a full backup unless
more than 1 GB of data is in the Cloud Transfer Queue or until the maximum threshold is met.
It is also possible to trigger a scheduled backup manually by clickling the Run Backup Now button on the
Backup > Schedules page, next to the respective schedule item.
52
Retention Policies
Use retention policies to define the length of time you retain historic data based on daily, weekly, monthly, or
yearly time intervals. Retention Policies reduce the amount of stored data to avoid that the Backup appliance
from running out of storage.
53
File Exclusions
Introduction
The Exclsuion feature enables you to define exceptions for specific file types during the backup process. This
can affect whole file groups, like audio or video files, or specific formats like .mp3 or .tmp.
To create Exclusion rules, go to Backup > Exclusion and click Add one. In the following window, you can
specify an Exclusion rule name and select what should be included during the rule execution. You also select
which of your previously configured computers will be affected by the exclusion rule.
To define which file types should be excluded, select the appropriate entry from the Preset expressions
drop-down menu. If you want to be more granular, you can either delete the entries within the Preset
expressions that you want to include, or simply type in the file extensions you want to exclude in the
Expressions field.
54
Retention Policies
Overview
Barracuda Backup retention policies can be created for different sets of data, including virtual machines, data
backed up by the Barracuda Backup Agent (Exchange, SQL, Hyper-V, System State), and email messages.
You can create one policy for all of the computers and data sources on Barracuda Backup or create multiple
policies for each data source. Use the BACKUP > Retention Policy page to define content retention rules:
Policy Name - Enter an identifying name for the policy
Items to Retain - Displays all data sources on the selected Barracuda Backup Server. Select all of the items
you want to include in the retention policy.
Note: Items with no retention policy are retained forever on the local appliance.
Timeline Templates - Select from the pre-defined templates, which you can modify, or create your own
custom timeline. The Revisions Timeline and Retention Calendar display the timeline based on the selected
template.
Revisions Timeline - Define how long to keep daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly backups.
Note: Local and offsite means that revisions are stored both on the physical Barracuda Backup appliance and in
Barracuda's Cloud Storage or to another Barracuda Backup Server. Set this value based on your business
requirements. Keeping revisions forever can affect your cloud storage requirements.
Keep all revisions for - Specify the number of day(s) to keep all content revisions, or select never or
forever.
Note: This features allows you to keep revisions when you have multiple backups per day. For example, you back up
your SQL Server hourly for 5 days giving you 120 revisions.
Keep daily revisions for Specify how long to keep daily revisions. Specify a number of day(s), never, or
forever.
55
Keep weekly revisions for Specify how long to keep weekly revisions. Specify a number of week(s),
never, or forever. Turn on offsite only to use Barracuda Offsite Vaulting. Keep monthly revisions for
Specify how long to keep monthly revisions. Specify a number of month(s), never, or forever. Turn on
offsite only to use Barracuda Offsite Vaulting.
Keep yearly revisions for Specify how long to keep yearly revisions. Specify a number of years(s),
never, or forever. Turn on offsite only to use Barracuda Offsite Vaulting.
Note: Offsite vaulting leverages Barracuda's replication technology to offload up to twelve monthly and seven yearly
revisions to an offsite location, freeing up disk space on your local Barracuda Backup Server. This feature maintains
your organization's compliance with long retention policies, allowing you to save more daily and weekly revisions.
Note that offsite vaulting is available for both Barracuda Cloud and box-to-box replication.
Retention Calendar Display the timeline based on the values in the Revisions Timeline. Click Show
previous years to view prior year retention timelines.
Removed Files Rule (available for data backed up using file-based protocols only) The last revision of a
removed file that was backed up from a network file system (using CIFS, SSHFS) is kept for the longest
revision timeline specified. If you would prefer not to keep removed files for the entire retention period,
specify when removed files should be purged using the Removed Files Rule:
Follow the revisions timeline above When selected, files are removed based on the Revisions Timeline.
Manually set when removed files are purged When selected, you can specify the Removed Files
Timeline:
Removed Files Timeline Specify the number of day(s), week(s), month(s), years(s), never, or
forever to keep removed files.
Email Messages Timeline (available for message-level backup only) Specify the number of day(s),
week(s), month(s), years(s), never, or forever to retain removed email messages.
56
Overview
Use retention policies to define the length of time you retain historic data based on daily, weekly, monthly, or
yearly time intervals. Think of retention policies in terms of your ability to restore data backed up in the past.
For example, you have a retention timeline that keeps daily backups for five days, weekly backups for two
weeks, monthly backups for six months, and yearly backups for one year:
A revision is created when the data being backed up is changed:
Daily revision is determined by the revision that is current at the end of each day
Weekly revision is determined by the revision that is current on Sunday
Monthly revision is determined by the revision on the last day of the month
Yearly revision is determined by the last day of the year
57
Retention Policies
Example
If a file changes every day Monday through Sunday, the revision that is current on Sunday becomes the
weekly revision. If the last time the document changes is on Friday, then that Friday revision becomes the
weekly revision.

Barracuda Console
The Barracuda Console allows you to change the network settings on a Barracuda Backup Server directly. To
access and interact with the Console screen, you must plug a keyboard and monitor into your Barracuda
Backup Server.
Interface
The Console interface is a curses application that Barracuda Backup Servers boot into when started. Use the
interface to change network settings through direct physical access to the unit.
Out-of-the-Box
Making network setting changes using the Barracuda Console is easy. A Barracuda Backup Server is
considered fully online when all three boxes - LAN, Internet, and Barracuda - are green. It is possible to have
connectivity to the LAN and Internet but not to Barracuda Networks. This can occur if the system is not linked
or if a LAN firewall is blocking the necessary outbound port 1194. Encrypted traffic is sent out across port 1194
to the Barracuda Networks management network.
If you wish to restrict the outbound network traffic on port 1194 to the Barracuda Networks specific IP range,
please contact Barracuda Networks Technical Support for a listing of required IP addresses to allow. If a
firewall is blocking outbound traffic on this port, the Barracuda Backup Server's Smart mode will be unable to
bring the unit online.
Having a DHCP server is running on the network is an easy way to bring the Barracuda Backup Server online.
The Barracuda Backup Server requests network IP information from the DHCP server when it boots, or after it
loses network connectivity for any reason. Static IP information can be specified on the Barracuda Backup
Server as well.
Use the following keyboard commands to navigate and make changes in the Barracuda Console. The activity
log shows you what the Barracuda Backup Server is doing during the process. Changes do not take effect until
the Commit Changes button is highlighted and you press Enter on the keyboard:
Arrow keys change field highlighting
Spacebar selects DHCP or Static address
Red headings are disabled fields due to the current mode
Press Enter on Commit Changes when finished
After changes are committed, the Barracuda Backup Server attempts to connect to Barracuda Networks
60
Lesson 4: Restore
61
Restore Browser
Introduction
Use the Barracuda Backup web interface to restore data that was stored either using the Barracuda Backup
Agent or file share data. You can also download a file, a file system directory, an email mailbox, or mailbox
folders through the web interface.
This is the recommended way to restore data backed up by the Barracuda Backup Agent. Note that:
Message-level data must be restored to the computer from which it originally came.
Data can be restored back to its original location or to another computer on your network. If restoring to
another location, the Barracuda Backup Agent must be installed on that system.
A functioning Barracuda Backup Server must be in place in order to restore SQL Server and Microsoft
Exchange databases.
File Share Data
When restoring file share data through the web interface, you can restore one file at a time, a single directory,
or an entire share. This works well when you only need to restore a few documents. File share data can be
restored to its original location through the web interface.
62
Introduction
Barracuda Backup utilizes the vSphere Data Recovery API to backup and restore the VMware Host
configuration as well as VMware guests. VMware host backup provides a comprehensive disaster recovery
option for virtual machines and provides the ability to recover virtual machines to any VMware host accessible
by the Barracuda Backup Server.
Use the Barracuda Backup Server web interface to restore VMware hosts, host configuration, or virtual
machine images.
Use the following steps to restore a VMware data source:
1.) Log into the Barracuda Backup web interface, and go to the RESTORE > Restore Browser page.
2.) Expand the VMware data source on the left, and click on the virtual machine you want to restore; all available
revisions display.
3.) Click Restore to the right of the revision.
4.) In the Restore dialog box, select the following options:
Restore to Select Original Location
Overwrite Turn On to overwrite existing data for this virtual machine at the source
5.) Click Start Restoring.
63
LiveBoot
Introduction
Use Barracuda LiveBoot to recover and traverse the file structure of VMware virtual guest system data and to
download files and directories within a VMware snapshot. In the event of a failure with your primary storage
system, the Barracuda Backup Server can act as the datastore for your VMware ESX/ESXi server. You can
recover any revision of a VMware virtual guest server within your retention policy and serve up deduplicated
content as needed by the virtual server.
64
65
66
LiveBoot: Cloud
Overview
Use Barracuda LiveBoot to boot VMware virtual guest systems in the Barracuda Cloud. LiveBoot in the cloud
is useful as a sandbox for testing purposes.
Cloud LiveBoot is available to all Barracuda Backup customers with Instant Replacement and a Cloud
Storage subscription, and is available to all customers excluding those in Japan, Germany, and Austria.
67
LiveBoot: Cloud
Introduction
A virtual machine (VM) has three basic states: running, suspend/resume, and stopped. You suspend a VM
to save its current state, and then when it is resumed, applications running before it was suspended resume in
their running state, content is unchanged, and user session is active. When a VM is stopped, applications are
stopped and user sessions are inactive. Cloud LiveBoot allows you to boot VMware virtual guest systems in
Barracuda's Cloud for recovery and testing, as described in the table below.
Recovery
Testing
Recover any revision of a VMware virtual guest server within your retention policy.
Boot virtual servers in the cloud to recover and traverse the file structure of VMware virtual
guest system data.
Retrieve an individual Active Directory (AD) object.
Serve up deduplicated content as needed by the virtual server.
Once replicated to the cloud, boot the virtual guest system to verify data integrity.
Use LiveBoot to set up a sandbox to test applications or changes to applications outside of
your production environment.
When you back up a VMware virtual guest server and replicate this data to Barracuda Cloud Storage, you can
boot the server in Barracuda's Cloud directly from the Barracuda Backup web interface; no additional
configuration is necessary. Go to RESTORE > Restore Browser, and click LiveBoot to the right of the guest
server. Allow the operating system to complete the boot process; typically this process takes less than a
minute. Once the system is available in the cloud, you are presented your login credentials so that you can use
a Virtual Network Computing (VNC) client to connect securely to your guest machine. For direct access, you
can connect remotely over a public IP address by modifying the Network Settings to External. Note that you
must first shut down the server to enable a public IP address. The public address is allocated by Barracuda.
Note: When accessing a guest machine remotely, because it is assigned a public IP address, you are responsible for
securing the virtual machine in the Cloud.
68
Once a virtual guest is running in the Cloud, it remains operational for seven days; if you require additional
time, contact Barracuda Networks Technical Support. The number of virtual images you can run is based on
your Barracuda Backup model, as shown below.
Available Virtual Images
Model
190/290/390
490/690
890/891/892/990/991/1090/1091

Introduction
"Bare metal" recovery allows you to restore a complete Microsoft Windows system, including data, settings,
applications, and operating system, onto a new computer on which nothing is installed.
Requirements
You must have an existing backup of a system that uses one of the following Microsoft operating systems:
Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2
Microsoft Windows Server 2012
Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2
Windows 2008 Server
Windows Small Business Server 2011
Windows Small Business Server 2008
Windows Vista
Windows 8
Windows 7
Additionally, you must have all of the following:
Barracuda Backup Server firmware version 5.4 or higher
Barracuda Backup Bare Metal Live CD 5.4 or higher (available from the SYSTEM > Software Downloads
page)
Administrator rights to the Microsoft Exchange Server
70
How To
Use the following steps to download the Bare Metal Live CD boot media. Select the appropriate bit version for
the OS you are planning to restore. For example, if you are restoring a 64-bit operating system, you must use
the 64-bit version.
1.) Log into Barracuda Backup and go to SYSTEM > Software Downloads. Download the Bare Metal Live ISO
71
Caution: The bare metal recovery process overwrites all existing data on the system to which you are restoring the
data; therefore, bare metal recovery is recommended only when no other recovery option is available. This process
rebuilds the target computer or server to its original system setup.
A bare metal restore is intended to be used for restoring to similar hardware.
All system volumes and system state must be backed up in order for bare metal recovery to be possible.

Local Control
Introduction
Enable Local Control to manage your Barracuda Backup Server independently of Barracuda Networks Cloud
in a "connectionless" state.
Note: After you enable Local Control during the Barracuda Backup linking process, it can only be undone by wiping
the unit completely and relinking the device.
Firmware Updates
Before enabling Local Control you must configure an email contact within Barracuda Cloud Control to receive
firmware update notifications. This is usually the email account you use when setting up your Barracuda Cloud
Control account.
Permissions
To manage a Local Control appliance, a user must have Account Administrator or Operator permissions.
Support
When Local Control is enabled, you can open a support tunnel for remote diagnostics and technical support
services over TCP port 22 outbound. Go to the SYSTEM > Device Information page, and in the Server
Actions section, click Open Support Tunnel.
For more detailed information on Local Control, please refer to the Barracuda TechLibrary.
