  1. Permit downloading of serverless instance snapshots.

    Currently this is not supported. The consequence is that there is no way to restore just a single database or collection from a snapshot. This obviously greatly reduces the value of snapshots.

  2. Yearly backup option is required

    We are planning to take backup yearly , but as of now available max monthly backup. If i want to take yearly backup need to take 12 months for single year which expensive , as per our audit team need 20 years back up retention then it is required 12X20 = 240 backups which is very expensive. If yearly backup is available only 20X1 = 20 only.
    As of now only available below options:
    Hourly
    Daily
    Weekly
    Monthly

    Raised case also in our support portal: 01198437

  3. Allow turning off backups on serverless and free instances

    We have a use case where we would have liked to use a serverless instance but cannot since we cannot disable backups on serverless instances.

    We can't enable backups on this specific instance because of data retention restrictions so being able to turn them off completely on serverless and free instances would be ideal.

  4. Restore protection similar to termination protection

    A restore protection option similar to the termination protection for clusters.
    When a cluster has restore protection enabled, it can't be the target cluster for a restore operation. This will prevent accidental restores to the wrong target cluster from affecting the protected cluster.

    The motivation is preventing mishaps from affecting critical production clusters.
    The UI for selecting the target cluster of a restore operation has you select the cluster from a dropdown and then type in "I Agree". That still leaves you open to mistakenly select the wrong cluster if you aren't paying good enough attention.
    The restore protection feature…

  5. Restore indexes from AWS S3 snapshot.

    While working with export snapshot to AWS S3, I found there is no way to restore indexes from metadata.json, along with data there must be opportunity to restore indexes as well otherwise have to rely on custom solutions and this may include external dependencies.

  6. Allow disabling TTL Monitor (to allow restoring a snapshot)

    Problem:
    If you are restoring a snapshot to check the data, or to look at old data, and the collection has a ttl index, then a snapshot, once restored, will immediately mark a bunch of records for deletion, thus making it impossible to examine, export, or otherwise use that data.

    Solutions recommended by support include a) download the snapshot (which is very large) and load it on a local instance with the ttl monitor disabled. b) open a ticket to ask for the ttl monitor to be disabled on a target cluster, however once complete you also need to ask…

  7. Need granular export details while exporting cloud backup to aws

    We need some granularity details in the notifications such as no of collections, size of collection/db, etc...

  8. 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…

  9. 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…

  10. Replay the point-in-time-restore journal for debug/diagnosis

    When performing a forensic analysis for the purposes of a restore, in order to determine the appropriate point in time when our data was last "sane", it would be awesome if we could start with a point-in-time restoration, and play the journal forward, e.g. performing a bisect on the data.

  11. 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.

  12. Read-only access to project snapshots

    Create a role that allows less-privileged users to download project snapshots.

    Project Owner rights are currently required in order to simply download a project snapshot. Our team needs to pull snapshots in a variety of contexts, for development and offline analysis -- especially from projects associated with our non-production environments -- and we have to harass our administrators each and every time. It's frustrating to everyone involved.

  13. Select exclusive copy snapshot from different region to restore for testing DR from copy snapshot.

    We have "Additional backup policy" feature enabled which will copy our snapshot to other region.As part of DR testing we want to exlusively select copy snapshot in other region to restore to perform DR.In the current cluster I don't see an option specifically to select snapshot from other region.

  16. 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…

  17. 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.

  18. 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.

  20. 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.
