The Barracuda Cloud Storage infrastructure boasts
Storage
In the United States, data is transmitted from Barracuda Backup Servers to one datacenter and then replicated to another. The process of replicating data begins immediately after it is copied from a Barracuda Backup Server and runs continuously. Data in the Barracuda Cloud Storage is stored in parts and no single computer in the storage system has all the parts required to reconstruct data. Each of these computer systems communicates in unison to deliver restored data securely. This diverse storage system serves to further strengthen the physical security of your data.
With this architecture, Barracuda Networks equipment can maintain up to three distinct copies of your data which can be stored in three geographically disparate locations.
Oversight
Access to Barracuda Backup Servers is limited to approved Barracuda Networks employees on an ‘as needed’ basis. Employee activity is logged and all logs are archived to an independent storage device.
