Percona Backup for MongoDB 2.0.0 (2022-09-21)¶

Release date	September 21, 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 non-sharded replica set), and for restoring those backups to a specific point in time.

Release Highlights¶

Physical backups and restores are now generally available. This enables you to use them in production environments.
Data-at-rest encryption is supported for physical backups and restores. This enables you to comply to data security regulations and save time on operating with large data sets.
By tracking physical restore progress, you have a clear picture of your restore operations and can timely react to any changes or issues.
Logical backups and restores can now be done selectively. This is a tech preview feature ¹ yet it enables you to work only with the desired subset of data and thereby save time on database maintenance and costs on storage.

New Features¶

PBM-790: Add the ability to make selective backups and restores. This is the tech preview feature ¹

Improvements¶

PBM-896: Enable physical restores for data encrypted at rest
PBM-898,PBM-811, PBM-812: Log temporary mongod process during physical restore
PBM-911: Rename backup’s complete time in pbm status and pbm list outputs
PBM-813: Enable pbm-agents to send heartbeats via storage during physical restore

Bugs Fixed¶

PBM-909: Consider the storage settings during physical restore
PBM-943: Fix the display of pbm status for filesystem storage
PBM-929: Recreate UUID for timeseries collections during oplog apply

Tech Preview Features are not yet ready for enterprise use and are not included in support via SLA. They are included in this release so that users can provide feedback prior to the full release of the feature in a future GA release (or removal of the feature if it is deemed not useful). This functionality can change (APIs, CLIs, etc.) from tech preview to GA. ↩↩
