Can i use --staging-location remote for encrypted backups?

[abzelev]

I want to all "staging"(decryption/decompresion) files was stored on remote/recovery server, so tried to use --staging-location remote for encrypted backups, but it shows warning below, so is there any option to use remote staging path for encrypted backups?

WARNING: 'staging_location' is set to 'remote', but decryption requires GPG,which is configured on the Barman host. For this reason, decryption will be performed locally, as if 'staging_location' were set to 'local'. This applies only to decryption, other steps will still honor the configured 'staging_location'.

Also tried to export/import gpg secret-keys, but it still doesn't work

OS: Ubuntu 22
Barman: 3.16.0 

Part of my barman backup config

backup_method = postgres
backup_compression = gzip
backup_compression_format = tar
encryption = gpg

Hi @abzelev, as the warning says, --staging-location does not affect the decryption stage, which is always performed locally. This is a limitation of Barman at the moment.

Thank you, @gustabowill, hope this option will be available in future releases
