[EDB](https://www.enterprisedb.com) is pleased to announce the release of Barman 3.10.0.
## Highlights of this release: ### Features: * Limit the average bandwidth used by `barman-cloud-backup` when backing up to either AWS S3 or Azure Blob Storage according to the value set by a new CLI option `--max-bandwidth`. * Add the new configuration option `lock_directory_cleanup` That enables cron to automatically clean up the barman_lock_directory from unused lock files. * Add support for a new type of configuration called `model`. The model acts as a set of overrides for configuration options for a given Barman server. * Add a new barman command `barman config-update` that allows the creation and the update of configurations using JSON * Related to this Barman release, [pg_backup_api](https://github.com/EnterpriseDB/barman/blob/master/NEWS) has been updated and released to support these new features. As a result, Barman now supports changes in the configuration whilst it's running. This pg-backup-api release adds the required endpoints to trigger that switch when requested. ### Bug fixes: * Fix a bug that caused `--min-chunk-size` to be ignored when using `barman-cloud-backup` as a hook script in Barman. This information is also published in the [NEWS](https://github.com/EnterpriseDB/barman/blob/master/NEWS) for Barman. ### About Barman Backup and Recovery Manager (or Barman) is an open-source administration tool for remote backups and disaster recovery of PostgreSQL servers in business-critical environments.
