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 named snapshot 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).
