If you are using tablespaces, you may be wondering if and how Barman manages them. Barman fully supports tablespaces, including their relocation at recovery time, through the --tablespace runtime option. For information on the syntax of the relocation rules, type any of the following commands:
- barman help recover
- man barman
In this recipe, we have seen only one use case, which covers remote recovery. As mentioned before, however, Barman also allows DBAs to recover instances of PostgreSQL on the same server as Barman.
This is called local recovery. For local recovery, you will need to have installed the binaries and libraries of the same version of PostgreSQL on the Barman server as the backup file you want to restore.
