Percona Backup for MongoDB 2.17.0 has been released

Percona Backup for MongoDB 2.17.0 has been released on October 14, 2026.

This release improves restore reliability and helps you resolve backup failures:

  • Restore index changes with physical PITR. Physical point-in-time recovery now applies index creation, deletion, and modification operations from the oplog. Physical restores also disable the TTL monitor automatically for the duration of the restore.
  • Restore time series collections more reliably. Fixes address index creation errors during PITR and validation errors during logical restores of collections backed up under high write throughput.
  • Find the cause of backup failures. In sharded clusters, PBM reports the failing shard's error instead of a generic convergence timeout.
  • Delete unfinished backups. Backups with stale heartbeats can now be deleted even when their metadata shows a starting or running state.

For time series collections with expiration, manually disable the TTL monitor before a logical restore, including PITR. Keep it disabled throughout the restore and restore its original setting afterward.

Get started with the Quickstart guide.
