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.

New Features

  • PBM-596: Azure Blob Storage support

  • PBM-488: Create weight or tag method to influence with pbm-agent node will do backups

Improvements

  • PBM-662: Show PITR Status based on admin.pbmLock instead of config settings

  • PBM-494: Prefer a (healthy) hidden secondary to any other node in automatic selection

Bugs Fixed

  • PBM-642: Display priority=0 members on agent list in pbm status output

  • PBM-636: Different collection UUID after restore (Thanks to Nikolay for reporting this issue and Dmitry Kuzmin for contributing)

  • PBM-646: Stop the balancer during backup to make sure it doesn’t start running during restore

  • PBM-635: Wait for the leader’s metadata before starting backups

  • PBM-490: Use cluster time for the snapshot start time
