1.1 What’s New

The following features and enhancements have been added in BART 2.4:

•	Users can now take multiple backups of PostgreSQL server versions 9.6 or higher simultaneously. If a backup is interrupted, it can be terminated automatically without the need to run the pg_stop_backup() manually.

•	Support for native packages for Debian 9 and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

•	The number of workers used for parallel restore can now be configured in the bart.cfg file rather than only on the command line.

•	The bart init subcommand will now set archive_mode to 'on' if not already configured.

•	If a user wishes to add a new server to BART without configuring archive_mode and archive_command on the server, bart init may be run with the new --no-configure option.

 

BART 2.4 Documentation Improvements

•	BART 2.4 now has a Quickstart guide. The guide enables users to install and configure BART, and take a full and incremental backup quickly. For details, please see the EDB Postgres Backup and Recovery Quickstart Guide.

•	BART installation is now documented in a separate guide titled EDB Postgres Backup and Recovery Installation and Upgrade Guide to improve readability. Refer the EDB Postgres Backup and Recovery Installation and Upgrade Guide for details.
