How to setup a Windows based server

You can backup a PostgreSQL server running on Windows using the streaming connection for both WAL archiving and for backups.

Important

This feature is still experimental because it is not yet part of our continuous integration system.

Follow every step discussed previously for a streaming connection setup.

You can backup your server as usual.

Remote recovery is not supported for Windows servers, so you must recover your cluster locally in the Barman server and then copy all the files on a Windows server or use a folder shared between the PostgreSQL server and the Barman server.

Additionally, make sure that the system user chosen to run PostgreSQL has the permission needed to access the restored data. Basically, it must have full control over the PostgreSQL data directory.
