Add editable description to a snapshot
After an incident I may single out a snapshot and decide it is important. At this point I am able to change the retention policy to keep it for a longer time.
It would be useful to also be able to add a note or a description to that snapshot so that I may tell future me why that snapshot was important and what incident it is tied to.

SHA1 Digest hash for Atlas Cloud Backup Restore
Atlas Legacy Backup used to have digest hash (SHA1 Checksum) on the restore job, but it is currently not available in Atlas Cloud Backup. This feature will be helpful in validating the integrity of the downloaded file.

Cloud backup to new cluster
Two different ideas for this:
-When building a new cluster having the option to build it using a cloud backup snapshot for DR when a cluster is down-Same idea to restore to a new cluster but from the restore target dropdown IE Restore to New cluster which opens the create a cluster workflow with the cloudbackup snapshot section populated

Sync backup data with AWS and GCS
I use Atlas because it's easy to set up, especially with backups. Without this feature, I have to build sync tools with the API to make sure my backups are secure. If someone got into our database and deleted the cluster - the backups are completely lost.

Change Azure snapshot backups from LRS to GRS
Sorry but this is a must. GRS is a 2 region datacenter backup, LRS only 1. Fire or disaster will take out everything if LRS is used.

Allow "Project Data Access Read Only" to retrieve restore links.
Allow "Project Data Access Read Only" to retrieve restore links. Currently, to retrieve a restore link from an Atlas cluster you must be a Project Owner.
In the current version to take the link to the snapshot we need to use Restore Jobs part of the API. Problem is that the same POST endpoint is used for the restore job which can do changes in the system and needs Owner level of the access and to generate link to the stream with the snapshot data. This second type of the job should not need so big access level as should…

Provide size (in bytes) in `GET /groups/{GROUP-ID}/clusters/{CLUSTER-NAME}/backup/snapshots` Public API call for each `snapshotId`
What is the problem that needs to be solved? Provide size (in bytes) in
GET /groups/{GROUP-ID}/clusters/{CLUSTER-NAME}/backup/snapshotsPublic API call for eachsnapshotIdWhy is it a problem? (the pain) You're doing your own automation with manual restore, and you can't programmatically know the actual filesize of
.tar.gzfile you'll be downloading for eachsnapshotIdlisted inGET /groups/{GROUP-ID}/clusters/{CLUSTER-NAME}/backup/snapshotsPublic API call until you actually download.tar.gzfile for eachsnapshotId.2 votes -

take snapshots off of the activity tab for maintenance.
When I select the maintenance filter on the activity feed all the daily snapshots show up. I feel like there should be a backup screen that shows all the snapshots on the activity feed. this would make the maintenance screen more precise and relevant.
. The maintenance screen should only show what software maintenance goes on the atlas clusters. This should also include all the release fixes. so, I do not have to go to your
https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/release-notes/software releases page.It is very hard to tell what maintenance will be applied in a given time period. We have timeframes to apply…

Accept-Range for backup download
The backup archives can be very large, and if my download is interrupted, without Accept-Range, it is not resumable. A length header is also missing, so the downloader doesn't know the size of the archive.

CronJob Live migration to second cluster in second project
It would be great to have a feature that schedule live migration from a replica set of a PROD cluster to a DEV cluster directly in ATLAS.
The plus of this solution are :
- I dont need a dedicated server to do this job on my side (deploy it, configure it, script it, open network/port, etc ..)
- I will not have to dump the whole databases from the cloud then uploading it afterwards (can be long)
- Gain from outbound price in the cloud (more for you this one)1 vote -
efficient backup restore between MongoAtlas Projects
Hello,
currently, when we restore a SNAPSHOT from one cluster to another cluster in the same MongoAtas Project (example from "production" project to "production" project), this is very efficient (several minutes).
On the other hand, if we execute the same backup restore from one cluster to another cluster on another MongoAtlas project (example : from "production" project to "staging" project), this is much less efficient and it will take several hours (instead of several minutes above).
This is very efficient in the same MongoAtlas project because it will use cloud provider system using hard disk management.
Could you improve efficiency…

Provide a default alert for projects using Cloud Backup
Given how import backups are to an enterprise's business continuity plans, the set of common sense default alerts set by Atlas should include an alert for Cloud Backup on projects with Cloud Backup enabled. Either "CPS snapshot has been stuck in queue for 1 hour" or "Snapshot schedule feel behind by 1 hour" would suffice.

Helpful error message when restoring backup
When I recently attempted to restore a db backup I got a cryptic error message stating "Error: Cluster Not Found"--which was extremely confusing considering that I pressed the restore button in the backup options. After some great tech support, I added my user as project owner and everything worked fine.
Please make the error message clearer in both the Restore and Download backup scenarios.

Dynamically Calculate Timestamp Limits for Continuous Backup Restore (via OPLOG Timestamp)
Currently, you can put in a OPLOG TIMESTAMP value that exceeds the maximum / minimum value for the Continuous Backup Time Window.
For example, on the "Date & Time" tab of the "Point in Time Restore" menu, you are given a warning that specifies: "You can only restore to a specific point in time after MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM"
This should be added to the "OPLOG TIMESTAMP" tab where a warning could be given such as "You can only restore to a specific point in time after XXXXXXXXXX" (Epoch time).
As such, you should enforce data form validation so that a user…

Restore snapshots to different clusters.
I have a staging environment cluster whose data I'd like updated daily with anything new from my production cluster.
Currently I do a dump and restore, but this is slow because it gets piped externally.
Ideally I'd be able to restore a production snapshot to my staging cluster through a script running on a cron. Whether than is API or CLI doesn't matter.

Add colors to Backup times
Hi can I suggest a feature to the developers? Can the developers add colors to the Backup times? Because I have accidentally Backup an instance at 3:21 PM instead of a 3:21 AM I wanted. The colors will definitely help prevent such accidents from happening. It would also be nice if the developers can ensure that Backup times are not the same for AM and PM. Thanks!

Add a note in the cluster builder UI where to find the Cloud Provider Snapshot
Add a note in the cluster builder UI where to find the Cloud Provider Snapshot (i.e. Cluster name > Backup tab). Customer who are used to using Continuous backup might not realize that there's a difference and panic when they see their backups 'gone' (especially if they have multiple clusters in a project, some of which still use Continuous backup).
