Backup Reports

The Barracuda Backup provides a detailed report for each back up that is run. Backup reports can be accessed from the BACKUP > Reports page of the Barracuda Backup Web interface. In addition, any back up process that is currently running is also displayed from the Reports page. Backup reports include details about the backup such as when the backup started, how long it took, if there were any errors or warnings, and any new, changed, or removed items. Reports also include links to each backed up file to view or download the item from the report.

If a backup is currently in progress, the BACKUP > Reports page will show that and allow you to cancel the backup.

User Activity Reports

The USERS > User Activity Reports page displays logs of activity of users accessing the Barracuda Backup Service Web interface. Logged activity includes log on authentication, changes to settings, changes to account information and more.

Managing Email Notifications

•Backup reports saying that a scheduled back up was run

•Alerts for conditions such as:

•A Barracuda Backup Server is offline or has come online

•A Barracuda Backup Server has not been able to communicate with Barracuda Cloud Storage (check for Internet problems)

•An error has occurred in a backup

•An error situation returned to normal and no (further) action is required.
