Percona Backup for MongoDB 2.6.0 has been released

Percona Backup for MongoDB 2.6.0 has been released on September 2, 2024.

Try it out using the Quickstart guide

This release provides the following features and improvements:

  • Support for multiple storages for backups and restores enables you to define additional remote backup storages and instruct PBM to which storage to save a backup. This ability helps you save on data transfer costs when using cloud storage, as well as enables you to follow closely with the requirements of your organization’s backup policy.

  • Adjust node priority for point-in-time recovery oplog slicing and have more control over the process. For example, prioritize geographically closest nodes for oplog slicing and reduce the network latency.

  • Snapshot-based physical backups are generally available enabling you to use this functionality on production and enjoy all the benefits of faster restores from snapshots with almost immediate access to data.

  • Dropped support of MongoDB 4.4. Existing functionality remains compatible with Percona Server for MongoDB 4.4. Further enhancements and bug fixes are no longer tested against this version.

  • Packaging changes:

    • Added support for Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble Numbat).
    • We no longer provide packages for Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic Beaver), Debian 10 and Red Hat Enterprise 7 and derivatives as these operating systems reached End-Of-Life
