🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

💜 PARAMETERS 💜

• SERVER_NAME — the name of the server in barman node. literally just tell her which server, bestie.
• BACKUP_ID — the Id of the backup in the barman catalog. orrrr you skip this whole thing and use a shortcut instead, iykyk 👑
• -h / --help — show a help message and exit. it gives you the info about how to use the command, so if you're ever like "wait what", this is your girl 🙈
