Remote backup storage configuration examples

Provide the remote backup storage configuration as a YAML config file. The following are the examples of config files for supported remote storages. For how to insert the config file, see Insert the whole Percona Backup for MongoDB config from a YAML file.

S3-compatible remote storage

Important

Percona Backup for MongoDB (PBM) needs its own dedicated S3 bucket exclusively for backup-related files. Ensure that this bucket is created and managed solely by PBM.

storage:
  type: s3
  s3:
    region: us-west-2
    bucket: pbm-test-bucket
    prefix: data/pbm/backup
    credentials:
      access-key-id: <your-access-key-id-here>
      secret-access-key: <your-secret-key-here>
    serverSideEncryption:
      sseAlgorithm: aws:kms
      kmsKeyID: <your-kms-key-here>

GCS

     credentials:
       access-key-id: <your-access-key-id-here>
       secret-access-key: <your-secret-key-here>

MinIO

    credentials:
      access-key-id: <your-access-key-id-here>
      secret-access-key: <your-secret-key-here>

Remote filesystem server storage

storage:
  type: filesystem
  filesystem:
    path: /data/local_backups

Microsoft Azure Blob Storage
