mongo-hot-backup

mongo-hot-backup

This tool can back up or restore MongoDB collections while DB is running to/from AWS S3.

You can deploy a docker container that will run backups on schedule. Or you can just run the container to make a single backup, or restore from a given point of time.

For the schedule option, the state of backups is kept in a boltdb file. (at /var/data/mongo-hot-backup/state.db or where you set it)

Health endpoint is available at 0.0.0.0:8080/__health and will report healthy if there was a successful backup for each configured collection in the last X hours, also configurable. Good-to-go /__gtg endpoint available as well, and /build-info.

An initial backup to be ran upon startup can be enabled.
