Barman is an open-source Python administration tool for backup and disaster recovery of PostgreSQL servers, maintained by EnterpriseDB. It supports remote hot physical backups, point-in-time recovery, WAL archiving and streaming, and centralized management of backup catalogs for multiple servers.
Use cases
- back up postgresql databases remotely
- set up disaster recovery for postgres
- perform point-in-time recovery of a postgres database
- manage a catalog of postgres backups with retention policies
- archive and compress WAL files for multiple postgres servers
- achieve zero data loss replication with synchronous WAL streaming
When to choose
- you need centralized physical backup and PITR for one or many PostgreSQL servers
- you want retention policies, incremental backups, and WAL archiving out of the box
- you manage business-critical PostgreSQL deployments requiring disaster recovery
When to avoid
- you only need logical dumps (pg_dump) for small databases
- you use a database other than PostgreSQL
- you want a GUI-managed backup solution rather than a CLI/INI-configured tool
