Make a logical backup

--8<-- "prepare-backup.md"

Procedure

!!! warning

Sharded time series collections are not supported. If you use them in your deployment, you won't be able to make a backup.

To make a backup, run the following command:

pbm backup --type=logical

Logical backup is the default one so you can bypass the --type flag.

During logical backups, Percona Backup for MongoDB copies the actual data to the backup storage.

Starting with version 2.0.0, Percona Backup for MongoDB stores data in the new multi-file format where each collection has a separate file. The oplog is stored for all namespaces regardless whether this is a full or selective backup.

Multi-format is now the default data format since it allows selective restore. Note, however, that you can make only full restores from backups made with earlier versions of Percona Backup for MongoDB.
