How to Migrate Your Barracuda Cloud Archiver

  • Last updated on

At this time, Barracuda Cloud Archiving Service (BCAS) data center migrations are no longer available. Further updates with new instructions will be given as they become available.


This article lists the different options on how to migrate your data to and from the Barracuda Cloud Archiving Service (BCAS) using your Barracuda Cloud Control account.

How to Migrate From a Barracuda Cloud Control Account to a New Barracuda Cloud Control Account in the Same Region

To upgrade your account or account name or if you are moving to or away from an MSP, you will need a BCAS Tenant Migration. Tenant Migrations do not move data but will update the pointers to the new target account.

Upon reaching the queue, migrations will be responded to within 24 to 48 hours with additional information.

Do not direct any journaling to the new account.

Any mail items on the new target account needs to be manually exported and imported to the original account.

Contact Barracuda Networks Technical Support with the following details to ensure the case is directed to the migration team:

  • Origin

    • Serial number

    • Account Name

    • Move LDAP/AZURE: YES/NO

  • Target

    • Serial number

    • Account Name

For the migration team to process the ticket, the technical support representative may need to collect additional information. 

Note that you must resolve any directory sync (LDAP/Azure) failures before the case is passed on to the migration queue unless you do not want your directory service moved to the new target account OR you want to manually reconfigure your directory service once the migration is completed.

How to Migrate From Sonian View to a Barracuda Cloud Control Account

Messages cannot be migrated from the Archmail system. Barracuda Networks recommends exporting these messages in advance. If you are unable to export the data, it can be made available for download, however, this service may involve a fee.

To migrate archived data from Sonian View to the Barracuda Core Cloud Archiver, you must provide an authorization letter from your third party service (Rackspace, GoDaddy, etc.) to Barracuda Networks prior to starting the migration. The authorization will allow Barracuda Networks to export the data.

Your third party service can send the authorization letter directly to Barracuda Networks at archivetechsupport@barracuda.com. Ensure the following information is included in the notes: account name, domain, and the Sonian Archive URL (if available).

After Barracuda Networks has confirmed receipt of the letter, you can proceed with the migration. To expedite the migration process, it is recommended to contact Barracuda Networks Technical Support to confirm that the authorization letter has been received.

To start the migration, you must configure your new Barracuda Cloud Control Account and stop archiving data on your Sonian View account. For more information, see Getting Started.

Contact Barracuda Networks Technical Support with the following details to ensure the case is directed to the migration team:

  • Barracuda Cloud account (Destination) info:

    • Country

    • Account name

    • Activated Serial Number – Serial number you have been assigned.

    • LDAP/Azure status: Configured / Not Configured (Provide the reason if not)

    • Journaling status: Configured / Not Configured (Provide the reason if not)

  • View/Sonian (Source) Info:

    • Sonian Account ID (optional)

    • Sonian Archive URL – URL pointing to the Sonian View Archiver

    • Customers Contact Info – Name, Email, Phone Number, etc.

    • Approximate data Size (optional)

Barracuda Networks Technical Support will then create a new case and send it to the migration team.

Note that the export and import of data can take a while depending on the data size. You will receive updates from the migration team on the progress.

Paid Export Services

If you are no longer using the Barracuda Cloud Archiving Service, have greater than 25GB of data to be exported, and are not moving to another Barracuda Networks solution, the Barracuda Networks migration team can assist you with the data export. Note that this service involves a fee and the approximate cost will be estimated in advance based on the amount of data to export.

The most expedient option for paid exports is to utilize ZIP formatted exports. With this option, a migration team member will create one job for every 1TB of data. During this time, our teams will monitor the progress and provide you with updates.

For paid PST exports, the migration team will manually create the exports directly in the user interface. Note that this process is similar to a customer creating their own exports from the user interface. You will receive updates from the migration team on the progress.

You have two options to obtain a quote for the export service:

  1. Contact your Territory Manager who will direct you to the sales team to provide you with a quote and collect all the pertinent information. Once the purchase order is placed, the sales team will create a case with the Barracuda Networks Technical Support team who will send the case to the migration team.

  2. Contact Barracuda Networks Technical Support to create  a support case for a paid export, gather all the necessary information, and pass the case on to the sales team to provide a quote. Once the purchase order is placed, the sales team will notify the support team to send the case to the migration team.

Upon reaching the queue, migrations will be responded to within 24 to 48 hours with additional information.

Contact Barracuda Networks Technical Support with the following details to ensure the case is directed to the migration team:

  • Account name

  • Barracuda Cloud Control account admin e-mail address

  • Serial number

  • Data export details (All data/Partial)

  • Desired format of export (PST or ZIP)

  • Total number of gigabytes (GB)

Notes:

  • Large exports are only exported in ZIP format.

  • You are responsible for downloading the exported data. i.e. Barracuda Networks is unable to ship a hard drive with the exported data. To expedite the process, you can connect to our SFTP servers to download your data. For assistance with SFTP, contact Barracuda Networks Technical Support.

If you do not want to pay for the export service, you can contact Barracuda Networks Technical Support to assist you with information on how to export the data on your own at no charge. For more information on how to export your data, see How to Export Messages.
