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 EnterpriseDB.

       WAL_NAME
              the value of the '%f' keyword (according to 'restore_command').

       WAL_DEST
              the value of the '%p' keyword (according to 'restore_command').

       -s SECONDS, --sleep SECONDS
              sleep for SECONDS after a failure of get-wal request.  Defaults to 0 (nowait).

       -p JOBS, --parallel JOBS
              specifies  the  number  of  files  to  peek and transfer in parallel, defaults to 0
              (disabled).

       -j, --bzip2
              transfer the WAL files compressed with bzip2

              configuration file on the Barman server

       -t, --test
              test both the connection and the configuration of the requested  PostgreSQL  server
              in  Barman  to  make  sure it is ready to receive WAL files.  With this option, the
              'WAL_NAME' and 'WAL_DEST' mandatory arguments are ignored.

EXIT STATUS

       0      Success

       1      The remote get-wal command failed, most likely because the requested WAL could  not
              be found.

       2      The SSH connection to the Barman server failed.

       Other non-zero codes
              Failure
