Barman - Postgres "normal" Backups

Question

I am trying to configure Barman but I can only find backups with SSH access or WAL. Is there any other way to do automatic backups with barman that dont depend on SSH/WAL? I dont have access to these features because its a managed db.

Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

You can't use barman without WAL. If your managed db provider offers neither archive_command nor streaming, then you can't use barman.

Barman doesn't need SSH, as long as you use a streaming-only setup and use backup_method = postgres rather than rsync.
