NAME

       barman-wal-restore - 'restore_command' based on Barman's get-wal

SYNOPSIS

       barman-wal-restore [OPTIONS] BARMAN_HOST SERVER_NAME WAL_NAME WAL_DEST

DESCRIPTION

       This  script  can  be  used as a 'restore_command' for PostgreSQL servers, retrieving WAL files using the
       'get-wal' feature of Barman.  An SSH connection will be opened to the  Barman  host.   barman-wal-restore
       allows the integration of Barman in PostgreSQL clusters for better business continuity results.

       This  script  and  Barman are administration tools for disaster recovery of PostgreSQL servers written in
       Python and maintained by 2ndQuadrant.
