Architecture overview
NetBackup supports the following for MongoDB Ops Manager.
Discovery: NetBackup supports auto-discovery of clusters with protection enabled.
Note:
If the clusters are not displayed, run Discover Clusters.
Navigate to workload > tab > .
Backup: NetBackup allows cluster backups, periodically, using policy.
Backup types: FULL, INCR, and TLOG
FULL (Full snapshot backup): Creates a complete base snapshot backup of the selected replica set or sharded cluster through MongoDB Ops Manager. A FULL backup is required as the base for subsequent incremental backups.
INCR (Incremental snapshot backup): Backs up only changed data since the last FULL backup. INCR uses MongoDB Ops Manager APIs to identify which files changed between snapshots and transfers only that changed data.
TLOG (Transaction log / oplog backup): Backs up the MongoDB oplog (transaction log) only. TLOG is separate from INCR and is used to support transaction-log based recovery objectives (for example, point-in-time recovery).
Note:
Point‑in‑time (PIT) restore requires Transaction Log (TLOG) backups. FULL and INCR (snapshot‑based incremental) backups alone do not support PIT restore.
Restore: NetBackup allows Full restore and restore to a different cluster. Point‑in‑time (PIT) restore is supported only when TLOG backups are available for the selected time range.
