Shutting Down a Barracuda Backup Server

You can remotely reboot or shut down a Barracuda Backup Server by logging into its local Web interface. Type the IP address of the Barracuda Backup Server in a Web browser and log in using your Barracuda Networks account.

You can also perform a safe shutdown of a Barracuda Backup Server by pressing the power button on the front of the device. This will issue a shutdown command to all system and service processes before the device powers down.

Do not push the power button down for more than a couple of seconds. Holding it for five seconds or longer causes an immediate hard shutdown. This interrupts running processes and the Barracuda Backup Server will power off before unmounting the file system.
