Release Notes

• Support is added for snapshot backups on AWS using EBS volumes.

• The --profile option in the barman-cloud-* scripts is renamed --aws-profile. The old name is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

• Backup manifests can now be generated automatically on completion of a backup made with backup_method = rsync. This is enabled by setting the autogenerate_manifest configuration variable and can be overridden using the --manifest and --no-manifest CLI options.

• Bug fixes:

  • The barman-cloud-* scripts now correctly use continuation tokens to page through objects in AWS S3-compatible object stores. This fixes a bug where barman-cloud-backup-delete would only delete the oldest 1000 eligible WALs after backup deletion.

  • Minor documentation fixes.
