From 544736a135190f8c432cda3c3998710ac7965313 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Garcia Sardina Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2026 11:03:57 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] docs: zstd is no longer WAL-only for base backups Barman 3.20.0 added `--zstd` to `barman-cloud-backup`, and the bump to barman-cloud v0.7.0 in #1174 added `zstd` to the `data.compression` enum. Update the compression page accordingly.
