What is our primary use case?
On our journey to bolster our cybersecurity and disaster recovery plans, we decided to purchase and implement Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup, as I always had it in the back of my mind that should the worst happen, our Office 365 data isn't being backed up and would be lost.
Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup comes in with its extremely simple setup that allows us to connect to our Microsoft 365 tenancy, doing the heavy lifting for us.
It instantly begins to create a backup schedule and then backs up all our mailboxes, our OneDrive accounts, SharePoint sites, and our Microsoft Teams.
We are able to check restore from backup, export out of a backup, and create scheduled reports for specified users.
Overall, it does everything for us when we need to have peace of mind that our data is being securely backed up.
With cyber attacks constantly on the rise, and being a high-risk target, I find that Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is perfectly suited for providing peace of mind that our organization's Microsoft 365 data is being securely backed up and easily recoverable.
What is most valuable?
The ease of use and backup capability of Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is great.
The simplicity of the backup process provided by Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is impressive.
We are able to use all available options of the product: Exchange, Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint.
We have all our employees and clients covered in the backup.
The product helps us to restore data lost either by mistake or possibly due to nefarious activity.
Since we started using Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup, there has been some improvement.
Especially, we have restored files in many incidents that would have required a lot of work to restore lost data.
It's now safer to move data to Microsoft 365 as we are now sure that the data is backed up, which frees up resources needed for an on-premises data center.
The product is a very cost-effective way to back up Microsoft 365 for all our users.
We've noticed fewer data losses by 90% compared to our previous tool since implementing Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup.
We've also seen an improvement in our security by 70%.
We don't worry now; we have peace of mind, with no data breaches since we started using Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup.
What needs improvement?
When restores are search-based, sometimes this presents a challenge as users don't always remember the file name of the lost file or when it was lost.
It's more to do with a limitation on Microsoft 365, but the suite of applications that are available to back up is limited.

We decided to switch from Veeam Data Platform to Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup because Veeam wasn't cost-effective compared to Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup.

It helps me worry a little less that in the worst-case scenario, mailboxes and Teams are easily restorable to continue, at very least.
It proves useful, for instance, where a user accidentally loses or deletes an important email or file in their mailbox or Teams, as what has been lost can easily be restored.
What other advice do I have?
The cost is also very transparent and cost-effective.
Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup's pricing is very cost-effective and affordable, making it accessible for every organization, especially because it boosts productivity and the security of the data, so it's essential in every organization.

We have been able to restore files in many incidents that would have required end-users a lot of work to restore lost data, hence saving us time and cost.
We've also seen increased security compared to Microsoft 365, which was also very expensive compared to Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup.
