Replicating backups offsite to the Barracuda Backup Service cloud is a quick, simple way to protect data in the event of a disaster. Barracuda Central, Barracuda Networks' 24x7 operations center, manages all monitoring, alerting and management of offsite data - providing full data visibility and access while keeping your data safe.

The addition of site-to-site replication to the local and cloud options previously available, gives customers absolute control over where they store their data. Barracuda Backup Service offers three deployment options for creating private-cloud data storage through site-to-site replication technology.

For organizations that want an even higher level of storage safety, Barracuda Backup Service lets administrators combine any of the deployment options for private cloud storage listed above with a subscription for data replication in Barracuda's cloud storage service. This multilayer approach provides the best of both worlds; easy onsite backups for fast restore times and secure offsite storage for effective disaster recovery.

Regardless of the type of deployment, Barracuda Backup Service provides several features that save organizations time and money as well as aid in compliance. Barracuda Backup Service deduplicates data inline at the block level to reduce traditional backup storage requirements by 20 to 50 times while reducing backup windows and bandwidth requirements. This data deduplication technology provides efficient replication of data between sites and to Barracuda Networks' cloud storage service. The addition of site-to-site replication provides customers with Barracuda deduplication technology in their private network environments.
