Hi,
I had the opportunity to work with barman. In my opinion, to configure barman, you should have a separate dedicated system. Configure WAL archiving properly to ensure that all transaction logs are streamed to Barman like the following
archive_command =
'rsync %p barman@backup_server:/path/to/backup/%f'Regular monitoring is required. You can check status via barman check command
Use streaming replication by using this command 'streaming_archiver=on' in the barman.conf file.
Does anyone know a best practice when it comes to installing barman?
Would barman be on its own system or does it make sense to have it running on a cascaded postgres server?
I'm just getting started with it so I'd like to see how others have implemented its use in a variety of different implementations of postgres servers or server.
Thank you
