[EDB](https://www.enterprisedb.com/) is pleased to announce the release of
Barman 3.7.0. This release expands support for the snapshot `backup_method`,
which creates full backups by taking snapshots of cloud storage volumes, by
adding support for AWS using EBS volume snapshots. Support for Google Cloud
disk snapshot and Microsoft Azure managed disks were added in previous Barman
releases.
### Highlights of this release
Version 3.7.0 - 25 July 2023
- Support is added for snapshot backups on AWS using EBS volumes.
- The `--profile` option in the `barman-cloud-*` scripts is renamed
`--aws-profile`. The old name is deprecated and will be removed in
a future release.
- Backup manifests can now be generated automatically on completion
of a backup made with `backup_method = rsync`. This is enabled by
setting the `autogenerate_manifest` configuration variable and can
be overridden using the `--manifest` and `--no-manifest` CLI options.
- Bug fixes:
- The `barman-cloud-*` scripts now correctly use continuation
tokens to page through objects in AWS S3-compatible object
stores. This fixes a bug where `barman-cloud-backup-delete`
would only delete the oldest 1000 eligible WALs after backup
deletion.
- Minor documentation fixes.
