Recovery using Barman in Ubuntu and a Postgres Server in a Windows Based as main.

[Brayan Muñoz]

Hi guys, how can I recover from my backups in Barman if i'm using my main postgres server in a Windows based. 

In the documentation I read that we can't perform a remote recovery using a Windows based server. But what u recommend would be an alternative to perform a recovery in this scenario ? 

Thanks, Brayan Muñoz from Dominican Republic.

I've never tried, but I suspect that the main problem with remote
recovery is the need of an ssh server, so I would guess that if you
install and configure and ssh server on windows you will be able to do
a remote recovery.
However, as a quick approach, I would mount (e.g., via SAMBA) a
windows folder and do a local recovery over such folder, that will be
"immediatly" visible over the windows machine.
Same thing if you decide to use a network folder.
Last, you can always recover on the local barman machine, e.g., in
/tmp/my-recovery, and copy the folder across the network.

Hope this helps.

Thanks sir, I'm using Samba and its okay to share the recovery files. 

Now I just have to put that recovery folder in place of my data folder on postgres directoy ?
