Percona Backup for MongoDB 2.0.1
Percona Backup for MongoDB 2.0.1 was released on October 11, 2022. It 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 include the support of server-side encryption with customer-provided keys managed on the customer side (SSE-C) which 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 it is deployed in Docker, Kubernetes, or other cloud services, and the ability to configure the sidecar mode for Percona Backup for MongoDB improves its operation as part of Kubernetes Operator for MongoDB.
