Case Study: Jewish Community Secondary School (JCoSS) achieves 3+ hours/month backup admin savings and ransomware protection with Barracuda Networks

Barracuda saves North London school hours each month on backup admin

Jewish Community Secondary School (JCoSS), a high‑achieving 11–18 school in North London, was struggling with an unreliable HP tape/DPM backup environment, time‑consuming on‑premises administration, no protection for Microsoft 365 data, and growing concern about ransomware and recoverability.

JCoSS deployed a Barracuda Backup 790 appliance alongside Barracuda Cloud‑to‑Cloud Backup for Microsoft 365, gaining easy deployment, 256‑bit AES encryption, unlimited cloud storage and 24/7 support. The solutions reduced backup administration from hours to about 15 minutes a month (saving roughly 3+ hours/month), deliver twice‑daily backups, scalable capacity, and greater peace of mind for ransomware recovery.
