Barman upgrade

[Guillermo E. Villanueva]

Hi, I have installed barman 2.18 on ubuntu 22.04, I already have a postgres 13 configured and doing backup. I want to upgrade to the latest version of barman, can you tell me the procedure please?

Thank you in advance.

Hola Guillermo,

Given that you are upgrading from 2.x to 3.x, I suggest testing a 3.9
backup system with a working configuration.

Once you have that working as expected, do the following:

- disable `barman cron`
- upgrade `barman` from 2.18 to 2.9 (apt upgrade barman)
- make any modifications to the barman configuration based on the
tests you ran earlier
- You may need to stop and restart the pg_receivewal process. This is
documented in the website's doc, in the barman man page, and in the
output from `barman receive-wal --help`
- run `barman cron` manually and verify that WALs are being archived
to the right place and retention policies are being applied as
expected
- test backups by running a `barman backup`

After each step run `barman check` to make sure that things are
working as expected. Also, test, test, and test before moving anything
to production.

Saludos, Martín
