NAME

       barman-cloud-backup-keep - Flag backups which should be kept forever

SYNOPSIS

       barman-cloud-backup-keep [OPTIONS] SOURCE_URL SERVER_NAME BACKUP_ID

DESCRIPTION

       This  script  can  be  used  to  flag  backups previously made with barman-cloud-backup as
       archival backups.  Archival backups are kept forever regardless of any retention  policies
       applied.

       This  script  and  Barman  are  administration  tools  for disaster recovery of PostgreSQL
       servers written in Python and maintained by EnterpriseDB.

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

       SOURCE_URL
              URL  of  the  cloud  source,  such  as  a  bucket  in   AWS   S3.    For   example:
              s3://BUCKET_NAME/path/to/folder  (where  BUCKET_NAME is the bucket you have created
              in AWS).

       SERVER_NAME
              the name of the server as configured in Barman.

       BACKUP_ID
              a valid Backup ID for a backup in cloud storage

OPTIONS

       -h, –help
              show a help message and exit

       -V, –version
              show program's version number and exit

       -v, –verbose
              increase output verbosity (e.g., -vv is more than -v)

       -q, –quiet
              decrease output verbosity (e.g., -qq is less than -q)

       -t, –test
              test connectivity to the cloud destination and exit

       –target RECOVERY_TARGET
              Specify  the  recovery  target  for  the  archival  backup.   Possible  values  for
              RECOVERY_TARGET are:

              • full:  The  backup can always be used to recover to the latest point in time.  To
                achieve this, Barman will retain all WALs needed to  ensure  consistency  of  the
                backup and all subsequent WALs.

              • standalone: The backup can only be used to recover the server to its state at the
                time the backup was taken.  Barman will only retain the  WALs  needed  to  ensure
                consistency of the backup.

       -s, –status
              Report  the archival status of the backup.  This will either be the recovery target
              of full or standalone for archival backups or nokeep for  backups  which  have  not
              been flagged as archival.

       -r, –release
              Release  the  keep flag from this backup.  This will remove its archival status and
              make it available for deletion, either directly or by retention policy.

       –cloud-provider {aws-s3,azure-blob-storage}
              the cloud provider to which the backup should be uploaded

       -P, –profile
              profile name (e.g. INI section in AWS credentials file)

       –endpoint-url
              override the default S3 URL construction mechanism by specifying an endpoint.

       –credential {azure-cli,managed-identity}
              optionally specify the type of credential to use  when  authenticating  with  Azure
              Blob   Storage.   If  omitted  then  the  credential  will  be  obtained  from  the
              environment.  If no credentials can be found in the environment  then  the  default
              Azure authentication flow will be used.
