This article refers to Barracuda Message Archiver Legacy Release firmware or higher and Barracuda Appliance Control.

Use Barracuda Appliance Control to centrally manage local and remote Barracuda Message Archivers from a single web interface:

  • Manage multiple linked appliances;
  • Open a support tunnel allowing Barracuda Networks Technical Support to troubleshoot appliances connected to your Barracuda Cloud Control account;
  • Organize multiple Barracuda Message Archivers by location, company, or department.

If you are a reseller managing Barracuda Message Archiver appliances for multiple customers, set up a separate Barracuda Cloud Control account for each customer using the Partner tools. You can then switch between the accounts to manage each customer's appliances.
