  1. Can you add support for storing the archive data in GCP cloud storage?

    The Cold Storage (Archiving) is available only in AWS S3 as of now. Can you please make it available in GCP cloud storage to move all the MongoDB archives?

  2. Ability to restore a single database on a cluster

    Hello,

    The Atlas portal/API offers the ability to restore a complete database instance from snapshot or restore point. However the scope of this restoration covers the entire instance.

    It would be a great asset to be able to restore a simple database from snapshots (encrypted or not). Currently, restoring a database (not a cluster) is a heavy workload that requires outputting data to a local workstation.

    Thanks.

  3. Copy/move snapshots from a source to a target cluster

    It is recommended that restoring a cluster must either:
    1) Restore to a new Atlas cluster and reconfigure your application to use that new cluster once the new deployment is running, or,
    2) Ensure that the target Atlas cluster cannot receive client requests while you restore data.
    (src https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/backup/cloud-backup/restore/#prerequisites)

    While doing a PIT restore with the source and target cluster being the same, our clusters have gone into a "down" state 3 times due to obscure errors, opslog not being large enough, or writes happening to the cluster during restore.

    We would like to take the safer route of…

  4. Make S3 backups configurable though the Atlas UI

    It's possible though the API but for ease why not make it possible to configure automated export to S3 on backup schedules though the Atlas UI online

  5. Allow backup download through PrivateLink

    We need the ability to download our backups via PrivateLink connection. Our clusters aren't reachable via VPC peering as we solely use PrivateLink. The existing download capability doesn't support a PrivateLink URL to download our backups through.

  6. Restore atlas cluster backup to differently encrypted Project

    If we take a volume snapshot backup from one project which is encrypted with encryption key A, we need to restore it into another project with Encryption key B .
    If we use Live migrate for this, it may take more time than volume snapshot restore.
    We need this feature for quicker refreshes of database cluster.

  7. Allow OpLog Backups in Atlas M0-M5 Shared-Tier clusters running on MongoDB v.5.x

    I have a backup process that is taking hourly dumps of the oplog on my production cluster running MongoDB v.5.0.6.

    It works fine using older versions of mongodump. However, when I update my tools to any version higher than 100.3.1 (100.4.x and above), my oplog backups fail with the following error:

    CMD : 2022-02-16T15:39:03.186-0500  Failed: error creating intents to dump: error counting local.oplog.rs: (Location40602) $collStats is only valid as the first stage in a pipeline.
    

    According to Atlas Support, this issue is limited to M0-M5 clusters and will need to be addressed by the Atlas development team.

    Can I ask…

  8. GCP Export Cloud Backup Snapshot support

    Currently "Export Cloud Backup Snapshot" is a really good feature for off-line backups, but it only supports S3. This is quite limiting for organisations that don't use AWS. It would be really good if it also supported GCP Cloud Storage.

  10. Backup snapshots on a single database or collection

    I would like to be able to configure backup snapshots of a single database or collection on a schedule or continuously. This feature would help projects that need snapshots but only on a subset of data. Cluster-level, topology dependent snapshots may not be appropriate or make sense financially for all projects.

  11. when making backups don't have the banner say "deploying your changes"

    I was very confused recently when I logged in and saw the message "We are deploying your changes" despite nobody having made any changes to the cluster. Apparently what was happening was our scheduled backup was happening. This was a really confusing message to be seeing and resulted in a support request to work out what changes were being made.

    It would be much better if the message when a scheduled backup was happening was more clear about what is happening and less misleading.

  12. PITR should allow to choose which snapshot to use as base

    PITR mechanism does not allow the user to choose which snapshot to use as base before replaying the oplog. Given that Atlas does not validate the snapshots after they have been taken, the user ends up needing to setup their own validation process. That alone is not a problem. However, when one needs to use the PITR mechanism, not being able to select a previously validated snapshot may lead for PITR restores to use unvalidated snapshots.

    Either Atlas should enable, uppon choosing, the validation of snapshots right after they are taken, or allow the selection of valid snapshots (snapshots taken…

  13. Delete documents from backups

    Allow to delete documents from existing backups based on a query.

    When off-boarding customers, we sometime need to delete all of their data, including historical data from backups. Having the ability to clean up those backups, without having to restore, delete, and take a new backup, would be amazing.

  15. snapshots without indexes

    It would be great to have the option to save Atlas backup snapshots without indexes. When using TTL indexes, when the data is restored, it is automatically removed because it is expired. Being able to create snapshots without indexes would save a lot of time to the current workaround.

  16. Monthly backup

    We would like to schedule our monthly backup and 1st Sunday of every month. Currently, this option is not available via the Atlas Console. It gives options like 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th...etc of every month but not a specific day like Sunday or Monday. Please consider adding this option as it will be ideal for us to take our monthly backup on a Sunday when the database is not busy.

  18. API access over VPC

    We have a scheduled process which starts up a GCE instance with both an internal and external IP address. This runs a script which:

    • uses the Mongo API to get the id of the latest snapshot
    • uses the Mongo API to create a restore job with HTTP delivery
    • downloads the backup and perform some verification processes on the backup.

    Currently Mongo Cloud only allows access to the Mongo API and the HTTPS download over the public Internet. This requires adding Google Cloud IP addresses to both the API key IP Access List and the Network Access IP Access List. It…

  19. Option to take a Cloud Backup snapshot on destination cluster before restoring if Cloud Backup is enabled on it

    An option should be provided to allow a user to take a snapshot of the destination cluster of a Cloud Backup restore before the restore is performed so that they can easily "revert" the restore if they need to (by just requesting a restore using the snapshot that was taken just prior).

    It's possible to be in a situation where you've selected an incorrect snapshot for restoring or that you'd supplied the incorrect cluster for the snapshot to occur (this is less likely to happen in the UI than it is to happen programmatically via the API). Taking a snapshot…
