Barracuda collaborates with Microsoft to take Microsoft 365 Backup to a new level

As a 20-year veteran of the backup market with solutions for Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Azure, Barracuda Networks is pleased to be working with Microsoft on the new high-availability APIs they are developing for Microsoft 365 backup. 

Barracuda’s engineers see an opportunity to use the new Microsoft 365 APIs to enhance our native solution, Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup, for high-availability backup and recovery of Microsoft 365 data. 

In January 2021, Barracuda announced the latest version of Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup with a new platform based on Azure that delivers a fast search and restore experience for Microsoft 365 data, including Microsoft Teams, Exchange Online, SharePoint, and OneDrive.

Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup was named the overall winner in the Data Protection and Management category of the CRN Products of the Year in 2021, and then Barracuda received the highest overall score in the Data Protection Software category of the 2022 CRN Annual Report Card, as well as the highest score in all four subcategories. Both awards were based on input from channel partners.

What people are saying

For further insights on Microsoft’s future solution for backup and how the new APIs fit in with Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup, we turned to executives at both Barracuda and Microsoft.

“We built our Cloud-to-Cloud Backup for Microsoft 365 in Microsoft Azure to take advantage of the scalability and instant capacity that Azure provides. A high-availability backup capability in the Microsoft Cloud will be especially important in data-heavy, time-sensitive industries like financial services and healthcare that want instantaneous data recovery as part of their business continuity vision,” said Tim Jefferson, SVP, Engineering for Data, Networks and Application Security at Barracuda.

“We’re excited to work with Barracuda, and look forward to the unprecedented speed and scale of backup and restore experiences they can bring to customers with our new Microsoft 365 Backup solution,” said Jeff Teper, President, Collaboration Apps and Platforms, Microsoft.
