28 Barracuda Backup Service Administrator’s Guide
Overview
As described in
Backup Deployment Options
on page 9, a Barracuda Backup Server can act as a
backup to one or more other Barracuda Backup Servers. Each Barracuda Backup Server can send data
to one or more other Barracuda Backup Servers.
Only models 490 and higher can act as a backup to other Barracuda Backup Servers, although any
model can send data to a Barracuda Backup Server.
Data can be backed up to both a second Barracuda Backup Server and to Barracuda Cloud Storage.
Data that is backed up on a second Barracuda Backup Server cannot be backed up yet again onto
another Barracuda Backup Server.
Before Starting Replication
Make sure that your retention policies are configured before configuring replication. Otherwise you
may waste bandwidth copying data that does not need to be replicated.
Verify Internet connectivity between the local and remote Barracuda Backup Server(s). Configuring
a secure VPN connection between multiple Barracuda Backup Servers ensures the highest level of
security possible.
Configuring Destinations
Barracuda Backup Servers that are used to back up the data from one or more Barracuda Backup
Servers are known as
destinations
. Data from one Barracuda Backup Server can be replicated to one
or more destinations.
To configure where data is replicated to from a Barracuda Backup Server, select the Barracuda
Backup Server in the list, and go to the
Backup > Replication
page. To add a replication destination,
click the
Add a Target
link. You must have the serial number and replication code of the destination.
These can be found by selecting the destination Barracuda Backup Server and looking at its
Backup >
Replication
page.
Once a destination is added, it appears in the
Sending Data To
table. If it shows as online, that means
that the two systems are able to communicate with each other.
Specifying Data Replication Destination
On the
BACKUP > Replication
page, there is a global flag to replicate all data to either Barracuda
Cloud Storage or to Barracuda Backup Servers. If you want to send data from diverse sources to both
of these options, then do not set that flag. Instead, edit each data source on the
BACKUP > Sources
page, and specify where its data is replicated.
