What is Percona Backup for MongoDB?

Percona Backup offers a distributed solution that minimizes impact while providing reliable backups for MongoDB replica sets and clusters. It works seamlessly with both Percona Server for MongoDB and MongoDB Community editions starting from version 3.6, provided that replication is enabled. Serving as an alternative to MongoDB Enterprise and Ops Manager, Percona Backup allows users to utilize a straightforward command-line interface for executing consistent backup and restoration processes for clusters or non-sharded replica sets, enhancing the reliability of cluster backups. This functionality not only saves time but also allows for a more efficient implementation of MongoDB backup strategies. By prioritizing the use of Percona Backup, organizations can ensure the integrity and availability of their data.

    Ideal choice for college students, for easy and efficient backup.

    Date: Mar 29 2022
    Summary

    Overall It was a positive experience for me, I have been using Percona Backup for quite a while now and really am happy with the services. I used Percona Backup for MongoDB for custom-built backup by Percona, As I am a college student and does not have that much money to pay for proprietary software like MongoDB Enterprise and Ops Manager but I wanted a fully-supported community backup tool that can perform cluster-wide consistent backups in MongoDB. And thanks to Percona Backup I was able to do all this efficiently without a massive overhead. Been using it from last 8 months and really happy with the product. Definitely recommend to people especially to college students who are short on budget and want efficient and cheap solutions.

    Positive

    1. Great alternative to enterprise proprietary software like MongoDB Enterprise and Ops Manager.
    2. Cheap, easy to setup, hassle-free solution
    3. Satisfies security aspects
    4. Ideal choice for college students, getting the correct functionality without a massive overhead.

    Negative

    Struggled with some documentation and support issues, took me some time to figure it out on my own. Things in the documentation are very much abstract, you need to really dwell deep to understand the mechanism of it.
