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 2ndQuadrant.
