Backup Reports
The Barracuda Backup provides a detailed report for each back up that is run. Backup reports can be
accessed from the
BACKUP > Reports page of the Barracuda Backup Web interface. In addition, any
back up process that is currently running is also displayed from the Reports page. Backup reports
include details about the backup such as when the backup started, how long it took, if there were any
errors or warnings, and any new, changed, or removed items. Reports also include links to each
backed up file to view or download the item from the report.
If a backup is currently in progress, the BACKUP > Reports page will show that and allow you to
cancel the backup.
User Activity Reports
The USERS > User Activity Reports page displays logs of activity of users accessing the Barracuda
Backup Service Web interface. Logged activity includes log on authentication, changes to settings,
changes to account information and more.
Managing Email Notifications
Use the ADMIN > Users page to send email notifications to users. Edit users from this page by
selecting a user and clicking on the Edit graphic ( ) . You can specify that a user will receive one
or more of the following types of emails:
• Backup reports saying that a scheduled back up was run
• Alerts for conditions such as:
• A Barracuda Backup Server is offline or has come online
• A Barracuda Backup Server has not been able to communicate with Barracuda Cloud
Storage (check for Internet problems)
• A watched file rule condition has been met
• An error has occurred in a backup
• An error situation returned to normal and no (further) action is required.
• You have reached the limit on your Barracuda Cloud Storage subscription plan size
• Notices of Barracuda Backup Server software updates.
The ADMIN > Email Notifications page allows you to specify email addresses of non-users that will
receive an email when a report, alert or notice is generated. This page allows you to specify any email
address (in some cases, your reseller), not only the email address of a user associated with your
account. You can also see the users that are receiving any type of email notification and edit those
users in a similar way to the
ADMIN > Users page.
