Barman 3.3.0

on GitHub

Version 3.3.0 - 14 December 2022

Features

• A backup can now be given a name at backup time using the new --name
  option supported by the barman backup and barman-cloud-backup
  commands. The backup name can then be used in place of the backup ID
  when running commands to interact with backups. Additionally, the
  commands to list and show backups have been been updated to include
  the backup name in the plain text and JSON output formats.

• Stricter checking of PostgreSQL version to verify that Barman is
  running against a supported version of PostgreSQL.

Bug fixes

• Fix inconsistencies between the barman cloud command docs and the help
  output for those commands.

• Use a new PostgreSQL connection when switching WALs on the primary
  during the backup of a standby to avoid undefined behaviour such as
  SSL error messages and failed connections.

• Reduce log volume by changing the default log level of stdout for
  commands executed in child processes to DEBUG (with the exception
  of pg_basebackup which is deliberately logged at INFO level due
  to it being a long-running process where it is frequently useful to
  see the output during the execution of the command).
