That’s why we introduced external backups (aka snapshot-based backup API) in PBM 2.2.0The idea came from the requests to bring EBS snapshots […]]]> https://www.percona.com/blog/introducing-percona-api-for-faster-snapshot-based-backup-and-restore-for-your-mongodb-environments/feed/ 0 89963 https://www.percona.com/blog/speeding-up-database-restores-in-pbm https://www.percona.com/blog/speeding-up-database-restores-in-pbm#respond Wed, 26 Apr 2023 12:01:44 +0000 https://www.percona.com/blog/?p=87304 When you do a database restore, you want to have it done as soon as possible.

The coordinator was handling all communications with backup agents and the control program. It held a PBM configuration and backups list, made a decision on what agents should do a backup or restore, and […]]]> 64655
