NAME

barman-cloud-restore - Restore a PostgreSQL backup from the Cloud

SYNOPSIS

barman-cloud-restore [OPTIONS] SOURCE_URL SERVER_NAME BACKUP_ID RECOVERY_DIR

DESCRIPTION

This script can be used to download a backup previously made with barman-cloud-backup command. Currently AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage and Google Cloud Storage are supported.

This script and Barman are administration tools for disaster recovery of PostgreSQL servers written in Python and maintained by EnterpriseDB.

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

SOURCE_URL
URL of the cloud source, such as a bucket in AWS S3. For example: s3://BUCKET_NAME/path/to/folder (where BUCKET_NAME is the bucket you have created in AWS).
SERVER_NAME
the name of the server as configured in Barman.
BACKUP_ID
the ID of the backup to restore
RECOVERY_DIR
the path to a local directory for recovery (used as PGDATA).

OPTIONS

-h, --help
show a help message and exit
-V, --version
show program's version number and exit
-v, --verbose
increase output verbosity (e.g., -vv is more than -v)
-q, --quiet
decrease output verbosity (e.g., -qq is less than -q)
-t, --test
test connectivity to the cloud destination and exit
--tablespace NAME:LOCATION
extract the named tablespace to the given directory instead of its original location (you may repeat the option for multiple tablespaces)
--cloud-provider {aws-s3,azure-blob-storage,google-cloud-storage}
the cloud provider to which the backup should be uploaded
-P, --profile
profile name (e.g. INI section in AWS credentials file)
--endpoint-url
