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.
