.. _PBM-1.8.0: ================================================================================ *Percona Backup for MongoDB* 1.8.0 (2022-06-09) ================================================================================ :Date: June 9, 2022 :Installation: `Installing Percona Backup for MongoDB `_ Percona Backup for MongoDB is a distributed, low-impact solution for consistent backups of MongoDB sharded clusters and replica sets. This is a tool for creating consistent backups across a MongoDB sharded cluster (or a single replica set), and for restoring those backups to a specific point in time. Release Highlights ================== * Ability to :ref:`restore data to a replica set with a different name and configuration `. This extends the list of environments compatible for the restore. * When you use EBS-snapshots or other tools for physical backups, you :ref:`no longer have to create a mandatory base backup snapshot in |Percona Backup for MongoDB| as the starting point for Point-in-Time Recovery oplog slicing `. This reduces time and effort on managing excessive backups and makes |PITR| from physical or storage-level backups more straightforward. * The ability to wait for the backup operation to finish before doing further actions through the session lock. This simplifies the automation of operations with |PBM|. * Ability to define backup compression level and method in |PBM| configuration. * To simplify the |PBM| configuration, the example configuration file is now included in the |PBM| package. * Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish) is added to the list of `supported platforms `_ New Features ================================================================================ * :jirabug:`PBM-776`: Allow data restore into the replica set with a different name * :jirabug:`PBM-866`: Add the ability to wait for the backup operation to finish and print the result * :jirabug:`PBM-782`: Allow saving |PITR| oplog without base snapshot * :jirabug:`PBM-838`: Add the ability to configure default compression method and level for backups Improvements ================================================================================ * :jirabug:`PBM-828`: Add the full reference configuration file to packages * :jirabug:`PBM-751`: Format timestamps according to `RFC3339 `_ (Thanks to Damiano Albani for reporting this issue) Bugs Fixed ================================================================================ * :jirabug:`PBM-820`: Fix a bug where PBM crashed if backup cancelled right after it started by cancelling the backup gracefully .. include:: ../.res/replace.txt
