NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar.

Barman (Backup and Recovery Manager) is an open-source tool for managing backups and disaster recovery of PostgreSQL servers. It supports the full disaster recovery process, simplifying the creation of physical backups through a variety of methods, organizing them into a comprehensive catalog and restoring backups to a live server with point-in-time recovery capabilities. We’ve found Barman to be powerful and easy to use, and have been impressed at the speed of point-in-time recovery operations during migration activities. We've also found it capable for scheduled backups, with an ability to handle complex, mixed configurations of scheduling and retention.
