Enhanced point-in-time recovery for databases

We’ve taken a step forward in enhancing Percona Everest’s point-in-time (PITR) capabilities for PostgreSQL, MySQL as well as MongoDB databases.

You can now restore your databases to specific points in time within the same cluster as well as a new cluster. This gives you more control over your database environments and more options for data recovery.

If you’re looking for in-depth insights into this feature, refer to the sections Create new database from a point-in-time recovery and Restore to a point-in-time recovery in our documentation.

New features and improvements

  • EVEREST-618, EVEREST-620 - Starting with Percona Everest 0.9.0, you can now create a new database using point-in-time recovery for your MySQL and MongoDB databases. If you’re looking to explore this feature further, see our comprehensive documentation.

  • EVEREST-914 - We have added a Kubernetes cluster ID to the VMAgent configuration, enabling you to use the same PMM instance to monitor multiple Kubernetes clusters.

  • EVEREST-871 - We have improved Percona Everest to ensure you don’t accidentally delete a cluster. We’ve introduced a confirmation pop-up that will prompt you to enter the database’s name correctly. Only when the correct database name is entered can you proceed with deleting the cluster.

Point-in-time recovery for PostgreSQL

  • EVEREST-598 - We have now added support for Point-In-Time Recovery (PITR) functionality for PostgreSQL databases.
