Backups and restore

MongoDB uses the same backup policy, run, and restore model as relational databases, under the MongoDB section in the console.

In the console

Choose MongoDB, then:

Backup Policies — create and manage policies
Backup Runs — account-wide overview of runs
Open a cluster — attach policies, set the backup bucket, and start manual runs
Migrations — restore a ready run into a new cluster

Typical order

Create a backup policy under MongoDB.
On the cluster, attach the policy and confirm the backup bucket.
Wait for scheduled runs, or start a manual backup.
(Optional) Restore a ready run into a new MongoDB cluster.

Note Concepts match the shared Backups guides for MySQL and PostgreSQL. Use the MongoDB section for MongoDB-specific policies, runs, and restore.
