Configure remote backup storage

The easiest way to provide remote backup storage configuration is to specify it in a YAML config file and upload this file to Percona Backup for MongoDB using pbm CLI.

The storage configuration itself is out of scope of the present document. We assume that you have configured one of the supported remote backup storages.

1. Create a config file (e.g. pbm_config.yaml).

2. Specify the storage information within.

   The following is the sample configuration for Amazon AWS:

   storage:
     type: s3
     s3:
       region: us-west-2
       bucket: pbm-test-bucket
       prefix: data/pbm/backup
       credentials:
         access-key-id: <your-access-key-id-here>
         secret-access-key: <your-secret-key-here>
       serverSideEncryption:
         sseAlgorithm: aws:kms
         kmsKeyID: <your-kms-key-here>
   

   This is the sample configuration for Microsoft Azure Blob storage:

   storage:
     type: azure
     azure:
       account: <your-account>
       container: <your-container>
       prefix: pbm
       credentials:
         key: <your-access-key>
   

   This is the sample configuration for filesystem storage:

   storage:
     type: filesystem
     filesystem:
       path: /data/local_backups
   

   See more examples in Configuration file examples.

3. Insert the config file

$ pbm config --file pbm_config.yaml
