Restoring from Local and Offsite Backups
Data can be restored from the local Barracuda Backup Server, from a remote Barracuda Backup
Server that has been used to replicate that system, or from the Barracuda Cloud Storage. Restores
from the local Barracuda Backup Server offer the fastest restore times.
Multiple methods are available to restore your backed-up data:
• Restore Browser in the Barracuda Backup Service Web interface
• Barracuda Restore Tool for Windows
• FTP from Barracuda Backup Server
• FTPES from Barracuda Cloud Storage
• Windows WebDAV protocol from Barracuda Backup Server
You can restore single files, individual email messages and entire systems.

Using the Restore Browser in the Barracuda Backup Server Web
Interface
The Barracuda Backup Server Web interface can be used to restore either data that was stored using
the Barracuda Backup Agent or file share data.
This is the recommended way to restore data backed up by the Barracuda Backup Agent. You should
know:
•
Message-level data has to be restored to the computer from which it originally came.
•
Data can be restored back to its original location or to another computer on your network. If
restoring to another location, the Barracuda Backup Agent must be installed on that system.
•
A functioning Barracuda Backup Server must be in place in order to restore SQL and Exchange
databases.
