Case Study: Taylor Shellfish Farms achieves reliable, affordable data backup and rapid recovery with Barracuda Networks

Taylor Shellfish Farms - Customer Case Study

Taylor Shellfish Farms, led by IT Director Jorge Cortés-Monroy, had operated without a formal data backup solution since the company’s founding, relying on external hard drives and risking complete data loss in a disaster. Facing disorganized and vulnerable records, the team evaluated Symantec, Microsoft and Barracuda before choosing a solution that met their needs for reliability, simplicity and affordable terms.

They deployed a Barracuda Backup Server 490 (onsite appliance with cloud replication and deduplication) after a 30-day trial and later added a second unit. The system delivered fast local restores—recovering files in under 10 minutes and restoring user access in less than 30—established daily backups, and eliminated the team’s data-loss worries, giving Cortés-Monroy a dependable, low-stress backup strategy.
