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.
