-      This mode (`pg-backupapi`) was introduced in v5.4.0 as a way to further integrate with Barman letting Barman
-      handle the restore. This also reduces the ssh keys that need to share between the backup and postgres nodes.
-      As long as you have access to the API service by HTTP calls, you could perform recoveries right away.
-      You just need to instruct Barman through the API which backup you need and on which node the backup needs to
-      to be restored on.

-    <para>
-      In order to enable <literal>pg_backupapi mode</literal> support for <command>repmgr standby clone</command>,

-      why the process couldn't finish properly.
