Checking the TOS I found a reference to Barracuda Networks.. Leading me to believe it's a startup within a larger company (I had been wondering how a startup could afford to buy the copy.com domain).

Given the above assumption it may have the funding to sustain the service even if it experiences slow growth. And also suggests that the company has the networking know how to scale their service (unlike my experience with bitcasa.com so far).

I think you're right. We just put in a new Barracuda Backup server this week and I noticed that, along with the usual file restore functions, it presents us with an option to share files to a Copy account.

There's going to be some cool integrations between Copy and some of the Barracuda backup hardware. I don't know many details though, you probably already know more than I do.

Yep, we're basically a startup within a company. Barracuda has a lot of hardware, something that will definitely help with growth and scalability.
