You can perform a full backup of a MongoDB cluster on demand.
Full backups are based on IntelliSnap. During full backups, the databases are quiesced before taking the snapshots of the data path volumes.
On Linux, configurations that have symbolic links to data paths and configurations that have symbolic links under data paths are supported.
Note: On Linux, the following MongoDB storage configurations are not supported:
Nested symbolic links in the dbPath specified in the mongod configuration file.
If both the directoryPerDB and directoryPerIndex storage configuration options are enabled, the identified symbolic links to the index and to the collection sub-directories.
Commvault does not back up mount points from subdirectories that are under the dbPath. To protect the mount point on the subdirectory that is under the dbPath, create a symbolic link pointing to the mount point.
