  • Last updated on

Starting September 2, 2024, the Cloud Storage feature will no longer be available. For more information, see Cloud Storage Discontinuation.

This article refers to Barracuda Message Archiver version 5.0 or higher.

  • Contact Barracuda Networks Technical Support prior to linking your Barracuda Message Archiver appliance to Cloud Storage to confirm your appliance has a cloud compatible index. This will ensure that there are no data duplication or other issues.

  3. Enter your Barracuda Cloud Control account credentials, and click Sign In.
  4. In the Location page, enter the City, State, and Country where your mail server is hosted; your account can link to only one location. The first Barracuda Message Archiver appliance you link determines the data center that all appliances on your account will use. For example, if you select Canada as your country, your appliances use the data center in Canada:
