Go Report Card codecov CLA assistant

PBM logo

Percona Backup for MongoDB (PBM) is a distributed, low-impact solution for achieving consistent backups of MongoDB sharded clusters and replica sets. Percona Backup for MongoDB supports Percona Server for MongoDB and MongoDB Community Edition v3.6 and higher.

For more information about PBM components and how to use it, see Percona Backup for MongoDB documentation

Percona Backup for MongoDB includes the following features:

  • Backup and restore for both classic non-sharded replica sets and sharded clusters
  • Point-in-Time recovery
  • Simple command-line management utility
  • Replica set and sharded cluster consistency through oplog capture
  • Distributed transaction consistency with MongoDB 4.2+
  • Simple, integrated-with-MongoDB authentication
  • No need to install a coordination service on a separate server
  • Use of any S3-compatible storage
  • Support of locally-mounted remote filesystem backup servers.

Architecture

Percona Backup for MongoDB consists of the following components:

  • pbm-agent is a process running on every mongod node within the cluster or a replica set that performs backup and restore operations.
  • pbm CLI is a command-line utility that instructs pbm-agents to perform an operation.
  • PBM Control collections are special collections in MongoDB that store the configuration data and backup states
  • Remote backup storage as either s3-compatible or filesystem type storage
