force clone from barman erases all files

Opened this issue · 0 comments

Hi,

repmgr 5.1.0 (from 2ndQuadrant apt) on debian/buster.

when i "force clone standby from barman", for example after a reinstallation of a standby server,
standby clone begins by erasing all pg cluster files, then retransfer all from barman (i guess using scp ?).

It would save a tremendous amount of time to not drop those files, in case they're worth something, and let barman decide how to restore the cluster efficiently ?
