Synopsis
keep

SERVER_NAME BACKUP_IDDescription
Mark the specified backup with a target as an archival backup to be retained indefinitely, overriding any active retention policies. You can also check the keep status of a backup and release the keep mark from a backup. You can use a shortcut instead of BACKUP_ID.
Parameters
- SERVER_NAME
Name of the server in barman node
- BACKUP_ID
Id of the backup in barman catalog.
- --release
Release the keep mark from this backup. This will remove its archival status and make it available for deletion, either directly or by retention policy.
- --status
Report the archival status of the backup. The status will be either full or standalone for archival backups, or nokeep for backups that have not been designated as archival.
- --target
Define the recovery target for the archival backup. The possible values are:
- full: The backup can be used to recover to the most recent point in time. To support this, Barman will keep all necessary WALs to maintain the backup's consistency as well as any subsequent WALs.
- standalone: The backup can only be used to restore the server to its state at the time of the backup. Barman will retain only the WALs required to ensure the backup's consistency.
Shortcuts
Use shortcuts instead of BACKUP_ID.
| Shortcut | Description |
| first/oldest | Oldest available backup for the server, in chronological order. |
| last/latest | Most recent available backup for the server, in chronological order. |
| last-full/latest-full | Most recent full backup eligible for a block-level incremental backup using the --incremental option. |
| last-failed | Most recent backup that failed, in chronological order. |
