Percona Backup for MongoDB Documentation¶
Percona Backup for MongoDB is a distributed, low-impact solution for achieving consistent backups of MongoDB sharded clusters and replica sets.
As of version 1.7.0, Percona Backup for MongoDB supports both physical and logical backups and restores. Point-in-Time Recovery is currently supported only for logical backups.
Supported MongoDB versions
Percona Backup for MongoDB is compatible with the following MongoDB versions:
For logical backups - Percona Server for MongoDB and MongoDB Community v4.0 and higher with MongoDB Replication enabled.
For physical backups - Percona Server for MongoDB starting from versions 4.2.15-16, 4.4.6-8, 5.0 and higher with MongoDB Replication enabled and WiredTiger configured as the storage engine.
Important
Percona Backup for MongoDB doesn’t work on standalone MongoDB instances. This is because Percona Backup for MongoDB requires an oplog to guarantee backup consistency. Oplog is available on nodes with replication enabled.
For testing purposes, you can deploy Percona Backup for MongoDB on a single-node replica set. ( Specify the replication.replSetName
option in the configuration file of the standalone server.)

The Percona Backup for MongoDB project is inherited from and replaces mongodb_consistent_backup, which is no longer actively developed or supported.
