Percona Backup for MongoDB 2.0.1 (2022-10-12)

Release date	October 12, 2022
Installation	Installing Percona Backup for MongoDB

Percona Backup for MongoDB is a distributed, low-impact solution for consistent backups of MongoDB sharded clusters and replica sets. This is a tool for creating consistent backups across a MongoDB sharded cluster (or a non-sharded replica set), and for restoring those backups to a specific point in time.

Release Highlights

• The support of server-side encryption with customer-provided keys managed on the customer side (SSE-C) enables you to use the S3-compatible storage of your choice thus preventing the vendor lock-in and saving your costs on AWS KMS (Key Management Service).
• The ability to configure Percona Backup for MongoDB remotely simplifies its management when PBM is deployed in Docker, Kubernetes or other cloud services.
• The ability to configure the sidecar mode for Percona Backup for MongoDB improves its operation as part of Kubernetes Operator for MongoDB.

• Troubleshooting enhancements:

  • The ability to define a timezone for logs and to follow the logs dynamically.
  • Indication of arbiter nodes as non-supported ones in pbm status output

New Features

• PBM-733: Allow changing the timezone of logs in PBM
• PBM-877: Enable PBM to read the config file from stdin

Improvements

• PBM-949: Improve handling of arbiter nodes
• PBM-948: Align pbm describe-backup and pbm describe-restore outputs
• PBM-941: Add a sidecar mode for PBM to prevent the database crash when a pbm-agent is misconfigured in a container
• PBM-922: Add support for SSE-C for S3 providers (Thanks to Richard Bateman for reporting this issue and contributing to it)
• PBM-897: Add the ability to dynamically follow PBM logs

Bugs Fixed

• PBM-978: Fixed the physical restore on replica sets having hidden nodes
• PBM-975: Fixed the issue with the display of point-in-time recovery chunks without base snapshot after storage resync
• PBM-966: Fixed the error handling of point-in-time recovery to non-existent timestamp by pbm-agents
• PBM-858: Improve reporting of the error when an oplog chunk can’t be created due to insufficient range
