Hi, Simply update the postgres.conf with the desired stanza, and add the new one in the pgbackrest.conf file. After that, run stanza-create with the new name. Once everything is OK, go to the repository directory and remove all files related to that stanza.
With this approach, there’s no downtime in production (just make sure beforehand that, in a production environment, if you don't need the backups already done with old stanza name).
