Last year Barracuda released their virtual backup solution, Barracuda Backup Vx. They have announced a new subscription policy and a new lower starting price. Barracuda is now offering metered cloud storage with Backup Vx for offsite replication. The price is based off of capacity and capacity is figured on how much cloud storage is consumed after deduplication and compression. For basic disaster recovery, customers can choose to replicate to a remote Backup Vx.

Last June Barracuda released a cloud-to-cloud backup that supported Office 365. The cloud-to-cloud backup was part of the larger backup service. Barracuda is now offering its cloud-to-cloud backup as a standalone service and it is offering it at significantly less than similar competitive options. Cloud-to-cloud can be used with Barracuda Essentials for Office 365 Complete Protection edition, which includes backup, archiving, and email security in an integration solution designed for Office 365 environments.

And finally Barracuda is offering new larger backup models including the Barracuda Backup 790 with 12TB of usable capacity and the Barracuda Backup 895 with 24TB of usable capacity. This give customers that need more capacity more options when choosing a backup solution.
