Barman

Barman relies on PostgreSQL’s extremely robust and reliable Point In Time Recovery (PITR) technology. Some of the most important features of Barman that improve the backup and recovery process are:

• Zero data loss backups. Allows the user to have zero data loss clusters with only one standby server.
• Cooperation with standby servers. Allows the standby server to fetch WAL files from Barman whenever streaming replication with the primary server is not working.
• Reliable monitoring integration. A unique function that monitors and creates reports about Barman’s configuration status.
• Parallel Copy for Backup and Recovery. Performs copies at an accelerated rate, speeding up the overall backup and recovery process.
• Backup Catalogues. Allows the user to list, keep, delete, archive and recover several full backups within the same interface.
• Support for Multiple Servers. Allows you to manage the backup and recovery phase of multiple servers from the same location.
• Store Backup Data. Stores backup data from multiple PostgreSQL instances, even with different versions.
• Full Hot Backup. Performs a full hot backup of your PostgreSQL server from a different server, specifically designed for backup and disaster recovery purposes.
• Incremental Backup and Recovery. Generates different backups targeting new and modified data allowing faster processing.
• Retention Policies. Configuration of customized backup retention policy to fit your organization’s needs.
• Remote Recovery. Performs remote recovery of a backup for a PostgreSQL server.
• WAL Files Compression. Custom archiving and compression of WAL files and backups.
• Backup Information. Generates general and disk usage information of all backups.
• Geo-redundancy. Allows DBAs and System Administrators to add another tier to their disaster recovery solution for PostgreSQL databases.
