Creates cluster-consistent point-in-time backups of MongoDB via wrapping 'mongodump'. Backups are remotely-pulled and outputted onto the host running the tool.
- Works on a single replset (2+ members) or a sharded cluster
- Auto-discovers healthy cluster/replset members (checks replication lag, etc)
- Creates cluster-consistent backups across many separate shards
- Archives and compresses backups (inline compression with mongodump 3.2+)
- Transparent restore process (just add --oplogReplay flag to your mongorestore command)
- AWS S3 Secure/HTTPS Multipart backup uploads (optional)
- Nagios NSCA push notification support (optional)
- Multi-threaded, single executable
- The host running 'mongodb-consistent-backup' must have enough disk, network and cpu resources to backup all shards in parallel
- When MongoDB authentication is used, the same user/password/authdb and role(s) must exist on all hosts
- Backup consistency depends on consistent server time across all hosts. Server time must be synchronized on all nodes using ntpd and a consistent time source
- Must have 'mongodump' installed and specified if not at default: /usr/bin/mongodump. Even if you do not run MongoDB 3.2+, it is strongly recommended to use MongoDB 3.2+ binaries due to inline compression, parallelism, etc
- Must have Python 2.7 installed
To build on CentOS/RedHat, you wil need the following packages (see command):
yum install python python-devel python-virtualenv gcc
To install to default '/usr/local/bin/mongodb-consistent-backup':
cd path/to/mongo_backup
make
make install
Use the PREFIX= variable to change the installation path (default: /usr/local), ie: make PREFIX=/usr install to install to: '/usr/bin/mongodb-consistent-backup'.
