Instant Replacement Service FAQ

The Instant Replacement Service is designed for corporate environments that cannot afford downtime. It provides for a replacement product to be shipped to you within 1 business day, should anything happen to your Barracuda Networks appliance, 24x7 phone and email support, data migration services for Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewalls if the old data is accessible, data recovery services for Barracuda Backup Servers, and hard disk replacement on Barracuda Networks appliances that have swappable RAID drives. The Instant Replacement Service is sold in one-year, three-year and five-year increments and is renewable upon expiration.

The Instant Replacement Service begins on the date the Barracuda Networks product is delivered to you and expires exactly one year, three years or five years from the delivery date, depending on the specific service plan purchased.

You will have 60 days from the date of purchase of the Barracuda Networks product to decide if you wish to purchase the Instant Replacement Service. If you wish to purchase the Instant Replacement Service within the 60-day window, the Service will retroactively begin on the delivery date of the Barracuda Networks product and continue for the time period purchased.
