A new PostgreSQL blog post/announcement has been posted!

Barman

Backup and Recovery Manager (or Barman) is an open-source administration tool for remote backups and disaster recovery of PostgreSQL servers in business-critical environments. It relies on PostgreSQL’s robust and reliable point-in-time recovery technology, allowing DBAs to remotely manage a complete catalog of backups and the recovery phase of multiple remote servers – all from one location. Barman is distributed under the GNU GPL 3 license and maintained by EDB.

Highlights of this release:

Version 3.14.1 - 18 June 2025

Bug fixes:

Fix WAL archiving performance issues:
The Barman WAL archiving process was suffering from a performance degradation due to processing of WAL files that would not be archived in the current run. There was also an oversight in the encryption logic introduced in 3.14, that caused Barman to check for encryption in WAL files streamed to the server, which is unnecessary as streamed WALs are never GPG-encrypted, nor compressed. With both issues fixed, the archiving process will be significantly faster and more resource-efficient.

Thanks to @thealex55 for the detailed analysis in issue #1087.
