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 can also be used to prepare for recovery from a snapshot backup by checking the attached disks were cloned from the correct snapshots and downloading the backup label from object storage.

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

  -V, --version         show program's version number and exit
  --help                show this help message 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 cloud connectivity and exit
  --cloud-provider {aws-s3,azure-blob-storage,google-cloud-storage}
                        The cloud provider to use as a storage backend
  --tablespace NAME:LOCATION
                        tablespace relocation rule
  --snapshot-recovery-instance SNAPSHOT_RECOVERY_INSTANCE
                        Instance where the disks recovered from the snapshots
                        are attached
  --snapshot-recovery-zone GCP_ZONE
                        Zone containing the instance and disks for the
                        snapshot recovery (deprecated: replaced by --gcp-zone)

Extra options for the aws-s3 cloud provider:
  --endpoint-url ENDPOINT_URL
                        Override default S3 endpoint URL with the given one
  -P AWS_PROFILE, --aws-profile AWS_PROFILE
                        profile name (e.g. INI section in AWS credentials
                        file)

                        environment and the default Azure authentication flow
                        will be used for authenticating with all other Azure

                        environment then the default Azure authentication flow
