NAME

barman-wal-archive - archive_command based on Barman's put-wal

SYNOPSIS

barman-wal-archive [OPTIONS] BARMAN_HOST SERVER_NAME WAL_PATH

DESCRIPTION

This script can be used in the archive_command of a PostgreSQL server to ship WAL files to a Barman host using the 'put-wal' command (introduced in Barman 2.6). An SSH connection will be opened to the Barman host. barman-wal-archive allows the integration of Barman in PostgreSQL clusters for better business continuity results.

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

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

BARMAN_HOST: the host of the Barman server.
SERVER_NAME: the server name configured in Barman from which WALs are taken.
WAL_PATH: the value of the '%p' keyword (according to 'archive_command').

OPTIONS

-h, --help: show a help message and exit
-V, --version: show program's version number and exit
-U USER, --user USER: the user used for the ssh connection to the Barman server. Defaults to 'barman'.
--port PORT: the port used for the ssh connection to the Barman server.
-c CONFIG, --config CONFIG: configuration file on the Barman server
-t, --test: test both the connection and the configuration of the requested PostgreSQL server in Barman for WAL retrieval. With this option, the 'WAL_PATH' mandatory argument is ignored.

EXIT STATUS

0: Success
Not zero: Failure
