Case Study: Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust achieves secure cloud backup and rapid Office 365 restores with Barracuda Networks

Providing backup and restore assurances for UK mental health provider as it migrates critical data to the cloud

Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, which provides in‑patient and community mental health services across Norfolk and Suffolk and supports about 5,000 staff and endpoints across 50 sites, needed assurances as it migrated critical business data into Office 365. Rising data volumes in Teams and SharePoint, planned OneDrive migrations, limited IT resources and the threat of ransomware or accidental deletion left the trust seeking an easy‑to‑manage, reliable backup and restore solution.

The trust deployed Barracuda Cloud‑to‑Cloud Backup (complementing existing Barracuda load balancers), a cloud‑native, per‑user licensed service offering full and granular restores for Teams, Exchange, SharePoint and OneDrive, plus point‑in‑time recovery and strong encryption/MFA. Configured in half a day, it has delivered low‑overhead, predictable costs, quick restores when required, and helped the trust progress toward ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus compliance — enabling confident cloud migrations.
