I was kafkes's guide on this project, and the WAL-E author and maintainer... I'd say the differences between WAL-G and Barman are similar to WAL-E and Barman, which comes up relatively frequently. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13573481 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13573481 In summary, WAL-E is simpler program all around that focuses on cloud storage, barman does more around inventories of backups and file-based backups and configuring Postgres. There are integrative downsides to its span. WAL-E also happens to predate Barman.
