Barracuda Backup
Barracuda Backup - Quick Start Guide
Barracuda Backup is an affordable solution that combines integrated software, an onsite
storage appliance, and offsite replication to either Barracuda Cloud Storage or another
Barracuda Backup Server. This solution provides locally stored backups for fast restore
times as well as secure offsite storage for disaster recovery.
Getting Started
This guide provides you with setup instructions for the Barracuda Backup
Service. We recommend fully reading these instructions before starting the
setup. To initiate your Barracuda Backup Service, you need the following:
Barracuda Backup Server
AC power cable
Ethernet cables
Barracuda Backup Server serial number and linking code (on right)
Connectivity and access information for servers to back up
Physical Installation
To install the Barracuda Backup Server:
1. Fasten the Barracuda Backup Server to a 19-inch rack or place it in a stable
location.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable from your network switch to the WAN Ethernet
port on the back panel of the Barracuda Backup Server.
3. Press the POWER button on the front panel to turn the unit on.
Optional IP Address and Network Settings Configuration
If your Barracuda Backup Server is located behind a corporate firewall, you may
need to open the following ports to allow communication between the Barracuda
Backup Server and Barracuda Networks:
Ports 80, 443, 1194, 5120-5129 outbound for both TCP and UDP traffic.
The Barracuda Backup Server uses these ports to transfer data over the
Internet to the offsite storage location. If you would like to restrict the
outbound network traffic on these ports to only reach Barracuda
Networks, please contact Barracuda Networks Technical Support.
By default, your Barracuda Backup Server is configured to obtain an IP address
on your network using DHCP. If you need to specify a static IP, you can use the
console administration interface by connecting a monitor and keyboard to the
Barracuda Backup Server; note that the AC input voltage range is 100-240 volts
at 50/60 Hz. If DHCP is acceptable, proceed to Step 4; otherwise, instructions
for using the console administration interface can be found in the Barracuda
Networks TechLibrary at: http://techlib.barracuda.com/x/xQCG
Linking your Barracuda Backup Server
Your Barracuda Backup Server must be linked online before you can initiate
backups. You should have billing information (credit card recommended)
to complete the linking process.
1. Go to http://login.barracuda.com and log in. If you do not already have an
account, click Create an account under the Username field, follow the
account creation instructions, and log in.
2. Once logged in, click the Backup Service button in the left pane. If this is
your first time linking a Barracuda Backup Server, click Start Backup
Service Setup; otherwise, click Link a Barracuda Backup Server.
3. On the Validation page, enter the serial number and the linking code for
your Barracuda Backup Server from the sticker below, and click Continue.
4. Complete the form and choose a Cloud Storage subscription plan if you
intend to replicate data to Barracuda Cloud Storage; no Cloud Storage
subscription is required for site-to-site replication.
