Barman 3.4.0
Version 3.4.0 - 26 January 2023
Features
-
This is the last release of Barman which will support Python 2 and
new features will henceforth require Python 3.6 or later. -
A new
backup_method
namedsnapshot
is added. This will create
backups by taking snapshots of cloud storage volumes. Currently
only Google Cloud Platform is supported however support for AWS
and Azure will follow in future Barman releases. Note that this
feature requires a minimum Python version of 3.7. Please see the
Barman manual for more information. -
Support for snapshot backups is also added to
barman-cloud-backup
,
with minimal support for restoring a snapshot backup added to
barman-cloud-restore
. -
A new command
barman-cloud-backup-show
is added which displays
backup metadata stored in cloud object storage and is analogous to
barman show-backup
. This is provided so that snapshot metadata
can be easily retrieved at restore time however it is also a
convenient way of inspecting metadata for any backup made with
barman-cloud-backup
.
Bug fixes
-
The instructions for installing Barman from RPMs in the docs are
updated. -
The formatting of NFS requirements in the docs is fixed.
-
Supported PostgreSQL versions are updated in the docs (this is a
documentation fix only - the minimum supported major version is
still 10).
