EDB is pleased to announce the release of Barman 3.7.0. This release expands support for the snapshot backup_method, which creates full backups by taking snapshots of cloud storage volumes, by adding support for AWS using EBS volume snapshots. Support for Google Cloud disk snapshot and Microsoft Azure managed disks were added in previous Barman releases.
Version 3.7.0 - 25 July 2023
Support is added for snapshot backups on AWS using EBS volumes.
The --profile option in the barman-cloud-* scripts is renamed
--aws-profile. The old name is deprecated and will be removed in
a future release.
Backup manifests can now be generated automatically on completion
of a backup made with backup_method = rsync. This is enabled by
setting the autogenerate_manifest configuration variable and can
be overridden using the --manifest and --no-manifest CLI options.
Bug fixes:
The barman-cloud-* scripts now correctly use continuation
tokens to page through objects in AWS S3-compatible object
stores. This fixes a bug where barman-cloud-backup-delete
would only delete the oldest 1000 eligible WALs after backup
deletion.
Minor documentation fixes.
This information is also published in the NEWS for Barman.
Backup and Recovery Manager (or Barman) is an open-source administration tool for remote backups and disaster recovery of PostgreSQL servers in business-critical environments. It relies on PostgreSQL’s robust and reliable Point-In-Time Recovery technology, allowing DBAs to remotely manage a complete catalog of backups and the recovery phase of multiple remote servers – all from one location.
