Percona Live Online

This session will take a look at what both sides of Percona’s backup solution for MongoDB has to offer - providing developer tool side info as well as specific end-user info to help you understand the workings of PBM as well as know the tips and tricks and common solutions and troubleshooting around this popular open-source tool for backing up MongoDB.

Percona Backup for MongoDB is an open-source distributed, low-impact solution for achieving consistent backups of MongoDB sharded clusters and replica sets. In part of this talk, we will take a look under the hood of PBM from the development side. We will also cover the architectural decisions and techniques that lie behind distributed backups and PITR. From the user side of PBM, there are still some general use questions ranging from the simple to the complex that we will cover relating to both the backup and the restore sides of the PBM tool. The user side goal is to explain how to set up the backup solutions and the restore situations for both replica sets and shared clusters. We will discuss some of the main problems our support customers encounter in their production environments and provide tips to help you navigate and avoid them proactively.
