Supported setups for MongoDB backups

PMM supports the following actions for MongoDB backups:

Docker limitations

MongoDB instances running in Docker containers are not supported for backup operations.

Replica set setups

The following backup operations are supported for replica sets:

  • Storing backups on Amazon S3-compatible object storage, and on mounted filesystem
  • Creating and restoring Logical snapshot backups
  • Creating and restoring Physical snapshot backups for Percona Server for MongoDB
  • You can create logical PITR backups both locally and on S3-compatible object storage. To restore a PITR backup, you must use S3-compatible object storage. PMM does not support PITR restores from local storage.

Sharded clusters

PMM 3 supports backing up sharded clusters. However, restoring for sharded cluster configurations is only supported from the CLI, and is handled via Percona Backup for MongoDB.

  • Storing backups on Amazon S3-compatible object storage, and on mounted filesystem
  • Creating Logical snapshot backups
  • Creating Physical snapshot backups for Percona Server for MongoDB
  • Creating logical PITR backups both locally and on S3-compatible object storage
