Data Transfer IP Ranges

See Barracuda Backup Data Transfer IP Ranges for a list of IP addresses used by the Barracuda Backup appliance.  Firewall and/or web filtering modifications must be made for outbound traffic only. The Barracuda Backup appliance does not require that you open any inbound ports since the appliance initiates the connection to the Barracuda Cloud.
