SERVER_NAME
Name of the server in barman node.
--bwlimit
Specify the maximum transfer rate in kilobytes per second. A value of 0 indicates no limit. This
setting overrides the bandwidth_limit configuration option.
--incremental
Execute a block-level incremental backup. You must provide a BACKUP_ID or a shortcut to a previous
backup, which will serve as the parent backup for the incremental backup.
NOTE:
The backup to be and the parent backup must have backup_method=postgres.
--immediate-checkpoint
Forces the initial checkpoint to be executed as soon as possible, overriding any value set for the
immediate_checkpoint parameter in the configuration file.
-j/--jobs
Specify the number of parallel workers to use for copying files during the backup. This setting
overrides the parallel_jobs parameter if it's specified in the configuration file.
--jobs-start-batch-period
Specify the time period, in seconds, for starting a single batch of jobs. This value overrides the
parallel_jobs_start_batch_period parameter if it is set in the configuration file. The default is
1 second.
--jobs-start-batch-size
Specify the maximum number of parallel workers to initiate in a single batch. This value overrides
the parallel_jobs_start_batch_size parameter if it is defined in the configuration file. The
default is 10 workers.
--keepalive-interval
Specify an interval, in seconds, for sending a heartbeat query to the server to keep the libpq
connection active during a Rsync backup. The default is 60 seconds. A value of 0 disables the
heartbeat.
--manifest
Forces the creation of a backup manifest file upon completing a backup. Overrides the
autogenerate_manifest parameter from the configuration file. Applicable only to rsync backup
strategy.
--name Specify a friendly name for this backup which can be used in place of the backup ID in barman
commands.
--no-immediate-checkpoint
Forces the backup to wait for the checkpoint to be executed overriding any value set for the
immediate_checkpoint parameter in the configuration file.
--no-manifest
Disables the automatic creation of a backup manifest file upon completing a backup. This setting
overrides the autogenerate_manifest parameter from the configuration file and applies only to
rsync backup strategy.
--no-retry
There will be no retry in case of an error. It is the same as setting --retry-times0.
--retry-sleep
Specify the number of seconds to wait after a failed copy before retrying. This setting applies to
both backup and recovery operations and overrides the basebackup_retry_sleep parameter if it is
defined in the configuration file.
--retry-times
Specify the number of times to retry the base backup copy in case of an error. This applies to
both backup and recovery operations and overrides the basebackup_retry_times parameter if it is
set in the configuration file.
--reuse-backup
Overrides the behavior of the reuse_backup option configured in the configuration file. The
possible values are:
• off: Do not reuse the last available backup.
• copy: Reuse the last available backup for a server and create copies of unchanged files (reduces
backup time).
• link (default): Reuse the last available backup for a server and create hard links to unchanged
files (saves both backup time and space).
NOTE:
This will only have any effect if the last available backup was executed with
backup_method=rsync.
--wait/-w
Wait for all necessary WAL files required by the base backup to be archived.
--wait-timeout
Specify the duration, in seconds, to wait for the required WAL files to be archived before timing
out.
