Add doc about keep restriction on incremental backups #986

Closed andremagui closed 3 months ago

andremagui commented 3 months ago

The use of keep annotations should be restricted to full backups only as it could lead to having orphan backups in a case where a Postgres incremental backup has its parent deleted while having the keep annotation. Such an incremental backup will then be useless for recovery.

This PR is adding a note to the documentation of the barman keep command
