MongoDB

You can use the Commvault software to back up and restore MongoDB.

Backups

Environments You Can Back Up

  • Replica set environments

  • Sharded cluster environments

Backups You Can Perform

  • Full backups, using IntelliSnap

    During full backups, the databases are quiesced , and then snapshots are taken of the data path volumes.

  • Incremental backups

    Incremental backups back up the MongoDB oplog dumps that are collected every 15 minutes. You can change the frequency of MongoDB oplog dumps by editing the log schedule policy from the CommCell Console.

When You Can Perform Backups

Full backups, using IntelliSnap:

  • On a schedule: The server plan that you assign manages scheduled backups

  • On demand: You can perform on-demand backups at any time

Incremental backups (using MongoDB oplog dumps):

  • On a schedule: The server plan that you assign manages scheduled backups

Restores

Backups You Can Use for Restores

  • The most recent backup: For example, restore the most recent backup to its original location

  • A backup from a specific date: For example, restore data to a point in time before it became unusable

  • Backups from a date range: For example, restore data that was accidentally deleted

Destinations You Can Restore To

  • The current location (in place)

  • A different cluster (out of place)

  • A disk
