SBA deploys Barracuda Backup, a comprehensive backup software solution that helps protect critical data and ensure business continuity.

1. Data Backup and Recovery: Barracuda Backup offers automated and scheduled backups of data, ensuring that important files and systems are securely backed up. In the event of data loss or system failure, the software allows for an easy and efficient recovery, minimising downtime and reducing the impact on business operations.
2. Multiple Backup Options: The software supports a range of backup methods, including file-based backups, image-based backups, and full system backups. This flexibility allows customisation of the backup approach.
3. Incremental and Deduplication: Barracuda Backup utilises incremental backup techniques, capturing only the changes made since the last backup. This reduces backup time and storage requirements.
4. Cloud-Based Backup and Replication: Barracuda Backup integrates with cloud storage, allowing secure backups offsite. This protects data from physical disasters or local failures and provides an additional layer of redundancy. The software also supports replication between physical and virtual backup appliances for added resiliency.
5. Granular Recovery Options: With Barracuda Backup, SBA can perform granular recovery of individual files, folders, or even entire systems, giving the flexibility in restoring specific data without the need for a full system recovery. This saves time and simplifies the recovery process.
6. Centralised Management: The software provides a centralised management console that allows administrators to easily configure, monitor, and manage backup operations across multiple devices and locations. It offers real-time visibility into backup status, alerts, and reporting, ensuring efficient management of the backup environment.
7. Data Security and Encryption: Barracuda Backup prioritises data security by offering encryption capabilities for data at rest and in transit. It utilises industry-standard encryption algorithms to protect sensitive information, ensuring compliance with privacy and security regulations.
8. Disaster Recovery Planning: The software enables SBA to create and implement disaster recovery plans, defining recovery time objectives (RTOs) and recovery point objectives (RPOs) specific to requirements. This ensures that critical systems and data can be restored quickly and efficiently in the event of a disaster.
9. Testing and Verification: Barracuda Backup allows for regular testing and verification of backups to ensure their integrity and reliability.

By incorporating Barracuda Backup into SBA’s IT policy, SBA has established a robust data protection strategy, minimises data loss risk, and ensures efficient recovery processes. This helps safeguard the organisation’s critical assets, maintain business continuity, and comply with data protection regulations.
