Re: off site backup

Carl,

We have been using Barracuda's Backup Services for the last 7 months. We
deployed the Model 690 solution in our environment. With this package, we
backup all our databases - Exchange, Blackbaud, Faculty/Staff personal and
shared folders locally. We upload all business critical/continuity data to
the Barracuda's (2) data-centers on a nightly basis. At $50 per 100GB of
'cloud storage', it's well worth the investment.

The only thing we're waiting for is better solution for their agent to back
up open files. Besides that so far, so good.

Let me know if you have any questions.

A.
