Verify that your environment meets the system requirements for granular restores for MongoDB.

• Install the NFS client:

  • If the MongoDB node is installed on Ubuntu 16.04 and more recent versions and Debian 10 and more recent versions, install the NFS client using the following commands:

    sudo apt update
    
    sudo apt install nfs-common

  • If the MongoDB node is installed on Red Hat Enterprise Linux/CentOS 7.x with glibc 2.17.x and more recent versions, install the NFS client using the following command:

    sudo yum install nfs-utils

• The user account that you authenticate with must have one of the following role or roles on the admin database:

  • The root role. This is a superuser role.

  • A set of roles (backup, restore, clusterMonitor, hostManager). If you do not want to assign the superuser role to the database user, then use these roles.
