How do I set my backup schedule time?
Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup will automatically set a schedule for each of your data sources to ensure each backup finishes as efficiently as possible. More scheduling options are planned for a future release.
How do I add a user to access Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup?
You will first need to create a user in Barracuda Cloud Control and give that user product entitlements to Cloud to Cloud Backup. See How to Add Users and Configure Product Entitlements and Permissions.
The user can then go into Cloud-to-Cloud Backup and manage their permissions in the Settings page. See Settings Page.
How do I restore data?
After the initial backup is complete, you can restore data by selecting files and folders from the Protect page.
Note that you can only select data from one level folder hierarchy.
I started an export job to download my data. Where do I find the downloadable link?
After the export is complete, you can obtain the download link from either the Dashboard page or the Reports page. Click on the export report you want to download.
How do I set my retention policies?
All data in Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is set to unlimited retention by default. More options to set retention policies are planned for a future release.
How long can I retain my backup data?
All data in Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is set to unlimited retention by default. Unlimited retention means you can retain the data as long as you would like.
How do I add users to receive email notifications for alerts and backup failures?
Go to the Settings page, and go to the Email Notifications section. For more information, see the Settings Page.
How do I select what to backup?
Go to the Settings page, and click on the Customize button next to each data source. By default, any new accounts found will always be selected. See Settings Page.
For Entra ID, all supported Entra ID data is backed up to ensure a consistent experience and reduce errors. Thus, the customize button is greyed out on the Settings page.
Why is my data in Cloud-to-Cloud Backup being throttled?
Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup uses Microsoft Graph to access data from a variety of Microsoft cloud services. While Microsoft Graph is designed to handle a large number of requests, throttling can occur to ensure the service remains functional. For more information, see Understanding Throttling.
Does Cloud-to-Cloud Backup offer IP address login restrictions?
While Cloud-to-Cloud Backup does not offer IP address login restrictions, you can utilize Microsoft Entra ID Conditional Access. Use Conditional Access policies to restrict access to your data and to keep your organization secure. For more information, see the Microsoft article https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/conditional-access/overview .
Microsoft 365
Why can't I connect my backup account to Microsoft 365?
Ensure admin users set their Barracuda Cloud Control (BCC) entitlements to Cloud to Cloud Backup in the BCC Admin Users page. See How to Add Users and Configure Product Entitlements and Permissions.
Log in with a global admin account to give permissions to the application to access your tenant.
Note: The global admin is only needed for the initial connection and can be removed or changed back to a normal admin after the connection is successful.Once the connection is established, configure data sources from the Settings page. See How to Configure Your Microsoft 365 Data Source.
I restored a Teams channel. Why can't I see it in Microsoft 365?
Restoring Team channels within 30 days of them being deleted will result in an error because Microsoft 365 keeps them in the recycle bin for 30 days. A workaround is to recover the specific channels from the recycle bin under the Manage Team option in Microsoft 365.
Why does Teams restore take several hours to complete?
When restoring a Team or parts of a Team, Microsoft controls the provisioning of Teams objects. It can take up to 8 hours to provision a folder or other Teams objects. Microsoft is aware of these limitations and has committed to resolving them. Please be aware that restoring a Team or objects within a Team can cause a long restore time and is not within the control of Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup.
Entra ID
I just connected to Entra ID and my first backup is complete. Why can’t I see any/all data on the Protect page?
After your initial backup, it may take a few minutes for the Protect page to display any data. This is expected as the initial backup job completes very quickly and it takes some time for those changes to propagate through the system and populate the Protect page. If this persists beyond 10-15 minutes, contact Barracuda Networks Technical Support for assistance.
Can I restore multiple items at once?
Yes, Entra ID Backup allows the selection of multiple items during a restore.
Does Entra ID Backup overwrite data in the tenant?
Yes. Entra ID restores will overwrite all attributes within the object(s) selected for restoration. This differs from Microsoft 365 restores and is by design to ensure a consistent and useful restore.
Can I restore Entra ID data to an alternate location?
No, ‘alternate restore’ is not applicable for Entra ID because there are no alternate locations for the data. There is only a single repository for the entire tenant. The purpose of restoring from Entra ID Backup is to restore all the attributes and relationships of the object to a useful state, which requires restoration to the original location.
