Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup

Barracuda Networks recently announced exciting news: a 20% price reduction on their Cloud-to-Cloud Backup licenses for commercial (non-EDU) users, effective from August 1, 2024. This price drop applies to both managed services and regular sales. With this new pricing, Barracuda’s Cloud-to-Cloud Backup becomes even more competitive in the market, with prices now matching or undercutting those of other cloud backup providers.

Why this price reduction matters

Microsoft 365 users are a prime target for cyberattacks, with over 4,000 attacks per second on Microsoft accounts. While Microsoft offers its own backup solution, Kappa Data is convinced that using third-party cloud backup, like Barracuda, is essential for complete and reliable data protection.

Many still view third-party cloud backup software as an unnecessary step, but this is far from the truth. Whether your data is stored on OneDrive or a hard drive, these basic solutions are not designed to provide adequate protection on their own. Utilizing third-party cloud backup is crucial to meet legal retention requirements, recover from cyberattacks, and maintain your company’s reputation. The consistency and accessibility provided by a third-party backup are invaluable.

New: Entra ID Backup

Starting September 2, Barracuda introduces a new, secure, SaaS-based cloud backup specifically for Entra ID data. This service is included with the Cloud-to-Cloud Backup or can be purchased as a standalone offering.

But why do you need an Entra ID backup? Isn’t Microsoft 365 backup enough? The answer is simple: Entra ID, formerly known as Azure AD, acts as the brain of Microsoft 365. All authority and information about users, access rights, permissions, roles, and policies stem from Entra ID. Without this critical information, Microsoft 365 stops working. Therefore, it’s essential to protect Entra ID so that your users can continue to do their work.

Conclusion

With this price reduction and the new Entra ID backup, Barracuda Networks offers a highly competitive and necessary solution for businesses looking to protect their data from cyber threats and meet legal requirements. Whether you are a small business or a large organization, now is the perfect time to recommend Barracuda’s Cloud-to-Cloud Backup to every Microsoft 365 user.
