Challenge	Before Barracuda, Michel used a tape-drive system with Symantec Backup Exec for his backup needs. The interface was difficult and it didn’t have the cloud storage they wanted. Frustrated with Symantec, he got a recommendation from a colleague, and switched to Barracuda. The difference was night and day. Installation was easy and it works right out of the box. Michel restores documents about once a month, and it takes less than 10 minutes each time. There is no longer any fear of accidental data loss or application corruption at Paul, Plevin with Barracuda in place. He was impressed that Barracuda Backup 490 requires no day-to-day maintenance. The Barracuda Backup 490 also runs Barracuda’s patented inline deduplication, which lowers the amount of space used for storage. In Paul, Plevin’s case, their storage needs are reduced by over 50%. That saves them time, money, and bandwidth. Read More
