Barman for PostgreSQL

Release Notes: This minor version adds the "bandwidth_limit" global/server option which allows limiting the I/O bandwidth (in KBPS) for backup and recovery operations. More control is given by the "tablespace_bandwidth_limit" global/server option, which allows limiting the I/O bandwidth (in KBPS) for backup and recovery operations on a per-tablespace basis. Minor bugs have been fixed.

Release Notes: This is a major release that introduces automated support for retention policies based on the redundancy of periodical backups or recovery window. Retention policies are integrated by a safety mechanism that allows administrators to specify a minimum number of periodical backups that must exist at any time for a server. This version fixes minor bugs and adds minor features.

Release Notes: This version adds the "configuration_files_directory" option that allows administrators to include multiple server configuration files from a directory (e.g. /etc/barman.d). The following aliases for special backup identifiers (ID) are now supported: latest, last, oldest, and first. With 'barman list-backup all', you can now list backups for all the configured servers. This release honors the "application_name" option for connection information on PostgreSQL >= 9.0. It fixes an important bug: missing WAL files are now ignored during deletion (#18).

Release Notes: This release fixes a minor bug in the recover command introduced in version 1.1.0.

Release Notes: This release includes support for hook scripts to be executed before and after a 'backup' command (through the 'pre_backup_script' and 'post_backup_script' configuration options). Management of multiple servers to the 'backup' command has been added too: 'barman backup all' now iteratively backs up all the configured servers. Minor bugs have been fixed and more accurate checks have been added to the command line interface. Clearer messages improve usability.
