  Monitoring the Barracuda Backup Service  47

Backup Reports

The Barracuda Backup Service 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, duration, 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 displays this information and allows 

you to cancel the backup.

User Activity Reports

The 

USERS > User Activity Reports

 page displays activity logs 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

Use the 

ADMIN > Users

 page to send email notifications to users. Edit users from this page by 

selecting a user and clicking on the Edit graphic ( 

). You can specify whether a user is to receive 

one or more of the following types of emails:

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)

• A Barracuda Backup Server appliance, such as a RAID volume or HD hardware, fails
• A watched file rule condition has been met
• An error has occurred in a backup
• An error situation returned to normal and no (further) action is required
• You have reached the limit on your Barracuda Cloud Storage subscription plan size

Notices of Barracuda Backup Server software updates

The

 ADMIN > Email Notifications

 page allows you to specify email addresses of non-users that are to 

receive an email when a report, alert, or notice generates. This page allows you to specify any email 
address (in some cases, your reseller), not only the email address of a user associated with your 
account. You can also see the users that are receiving any type of email notification, and edit those 
users in a similar way to the 

ADMIN > Users

 page.

Updating Your Barracuda Backup Server Firmware

Use the 

SYSTEM >Firmware

 

page to select the

 

firmware upgrade policy. This allows you to specify 

when in the release stage you wish to automatically update to the latest firmware.
