be executed as the ``barman`` user, with the necessary permissions to access WAL files
from the catalog, which is why ``sudo -u barman`` is used in this example.

To allow the ``postgres`` user to run the ``get-wal`` command as the ``barman`` user,
you can add the following line to the ``/etc/sudoers`` file:

.. code-block:: text

postgres ALL=(barman) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/barman get-wal SERVER_NAME *

For remote recovery, setting ``recovery_options`` to ``get-wal`` will create a
``restore_command`` using the :ref:`commands-barman-cli-barman-wal-restore` script,
which is designed to handle SSH connection errors more robustly.
