Barracuda Backup Service Security

Barracuda Backup Service Security

The Barracuda Backup Server is deployed behind your corporate firewall and is protected by the same security as your primary data sources.

Communication and Configuration

Administration and backup configuration that is set using the Barracuda Backup Service Web interface is sent to the Barracuda Backup Server via a 256-bit encrypted VPN tunnel. The Barracuda Backup Server uses HTTPS port 443 to send status updates to the Barracuda Backup Service. Data transfers are initiated by the Barracuda Backup Server rather than by Barracuda Cloud Storage or a remote Barracuda Backup Server.

Data Transmission and Storage

Data transferred between your network and Barracuda Cloud Storage or between your network and a remote Barracuda Backup Server is always encrypted. File parts are AES 256-bit symmetrically encrypted before they are stored, and they remain encrypted until a restore is requested.

Management Access

Monitor Activity

You can check the user activity page periodically for authentication attempts, changes to settings, and updates to account information. Go to the ADMIN > User Activity page to see all activity for an account, including logins and when a user has enabled or disabled replication.

Restrict Logins by IP Address

You can restrict access to the Barracuda Backup Service to one or more IP addresses. On the ADMIN

>Users page, click the Edit graphic ( Communication and Configuration) to edit a user. You can enter an IP address or a range.

Secure Network Access

HTTPS is always used for secure Web browser communication with the Barracuda Backup Service.

Encryption

Data transfers between the local Barracuda Backup Server and a remote Barracuda Backup Server are always encrypted. The most aggressive combination of symmetrical and asymmetrical encryption in the industry keeps your data stored in a format that nobody but you can access. The United States government recently approved 192-bit AES encryption as the preferred method for protecting top- secret information. The Barracuda Backup Service solution starts with even higher 256-bit AES encryption.

In addition, Barracuda Networks has developed a proprietary advanced digital cataloging system that:

Breaks down your data into small pieces and tracks the changes of these parts over time, and

Strips the original meta identifiers from your files.
