In building MongoDB Management Service, we want to provide a premium backup offering for your MongoDB data. But not all data is created equal. Since we rolled out the service, our customers have been asking for a more tunable solution where they could to exclude their non-critical logging, caching or analytics data sets.
We wanted to offer users fine-grained control of their backups and their costs. To accomplish that, this week we’ve rolled out a new feature that will allow you to exclude certain databases or collections within your replica set or cluster from backup. Using this feature, your backup and restore strategy -- and budget -- can center around the mission critical data.
Here is how it works. From the Backup UI, simply add the excluded namespaces for your cluster and click save.
