on GitHub

Version 2.18 - 21 January 2021

Features

• Add snappy compression algorithm support in barman cloud (requires the optional python-snappy dependency).

• Add the commands barman verify-backup and barman generate-manifest to check if a backup is valid.
• Add support for Azure Managed Identity auth in barman cloud which can be enabled with the --credential option.

Bug fixes

• Change barman-cloud-check-wal-archive behavior when bucket does not exist.
• Ensure list-files output is always sorted regardless of the underlying filesystem.
• Man pages for barman-cloud-backup-keep, barman-cloud-backup-delete and barman-cloud-check-wal-archive added to Python packaging.
