Release Notes
-
This is the last release of Barman which will support Python 2 and new features will henceforth require Python 3.6 or later.
-
A new

Currently only Google Cloud Platform is supported however support for AWS and Azure will follow in future Barman releases. Note that this feature requires a minimum Python version of 3.7. Please see the Barman manual for more information. -
Support for snapshot backups is also added to
barman-cloud-backup, with minimal support for restoring a snapshot backup added tobarman-cloud-restore. -
A new command
