What is Barman?

It is a backup and recovery manager, whose main function is to protect and recover data from PostgreSQL server disasters. Its most recent version was 3.3.0 (released on December 14, 2022). One of the most interesting functionalities that we can find in the software oriented to data backup, is the possibility of assigning a name to a backup from the same moment in which it is carried out, this functionality, is part of the Barman program, and it is very useful to help us to find the location of a backup in the future in a much faster way, it is only necessary to use the commands barman backupy. and Barman-Backup.

Features

Undoubtedly one of the most interesting features that we find in Barman is the backup catalog they offer us, which allows us to list, keep, delete, archive and of course recover different complete backups in the same place. This name assigned to the backup can be used to interact with the backups instead of the ID that we usually use in a backup or data recovery process. Another important feature of Barman is that the commands for listing and displaying backups have been updated to include the name of the backups in plain text and JSON output formats. With the latest updates made to the Barman system, they have managed to provide a more stringent PostgreSQL version check, which serves to verify if Barman is running on a supported version of PostgreSQL. To sum up and end our opinion, we just want to say that Batman is one of the most powerful tools we have today to backup and recover PostgreSQL server databases in case of disasters. Normally we do not want to put at risk of loss valuable information, which may be useful in the present or in the future, therefore, the Barman system is ideal for protecting and recovering such information.
