Percona Backup for MongoDB 1.8.1 was released on July 12, 2022. It is a distributed, low-impact solution for consistent backups of MongoDB sharded clusters and replica sets.

  • PBM-871 – Fixed the restore failure on a different cluster. Now the UUID of users and system collections are not preserved when replaying the oplog.
  • PBM-881 – The PITR chunks display is now consistent in both pbm status and pbm list outputs.

  • The ASCII shortcut for CHARACTER SET latin1 and UNICODE shortcut for CHARACTER SET ucs2 are deprecated and raise a warning to use CHARACTER SET instead. The shortcuts will be removed in a future version.
  • A stored function and a loadable function with the same name can share the same namespace. Add the schema name when invoking a stored function in the shared namespace. The server generates a warning when function names collide.
  • InnoDB supports ALTER TABLE ... RENAME COLUMN operations when using ALGORITHM=INSTANT.
  • The limit for innodb_open_files now includes temporary tablespace files. The temporary tablespace files were not counted in the innodb_open_files in previous versions.

Percona XtraBackup 8.0.29-22

On July 19, 2022, we released Percona XtraBackup 8.0.29-22, which enables MySQL backups without blocking user queries. Percona XtraBackup is ideal for companies with large data sets and mission-critical applications that cannot tolerate long periods of downtime. Offered free as an open source solution, Percona XtraBackup drives down backup costs while providing unique features for MySQL backups. Release highlights include new redo log types to support the changes in the INSTANT algorithm behavior. MySQL 8.0.29 extended the support for ALGORITHM=INSTANT to allow columns to be added to any position in a table and column drops. Older versions of Percona XtraBackup are incompatible with MySQL 8.0.29 because of this new functionality.
