Release Highlights
Network routing control in communication of pbm-agents with the backup storage
You can now control how pbm-agents reach the same remote backup storage by defining custom endpoints for them. This way you respect the network settings of the data centers where the servers running pbm-agents reside and ensure the proper functioning of PBM. Custom endpoints are supported for AWS and Microsoft Azure Blob storages.
Simplified troubleshooting with restoring the same collection under a different name
Now you can restore a single collection under a different name up to a certain point in time alongside the current collection. The restored collection has the same data and indexes as the one you backed up. This makes it easier to compare the data in both collections and identify what caused the issue with the database. As a result, your troubleshooting efforts significantly reduce.
Reduced troubleshooting time with diagnostics report
Collect all information required to troubleshoot backups and restores in one go. Generate the comprehensive diagnostics report about an operation execution and either dive deep yourself or file a bug report to our experts and attach the diagnostics archive to it. This way you reduce the iteration time and speed up the issue resolution.
Improved log rotation with a custom path for log output
You can now output logging information from every pbm-agent to a file at a custom path. This way you can introduce log rotation, manage the system log effectively and comply to security regulations for logging and auditing.
Additional flexibility for backups
PBM no longer uses mongodump for making backups but uses its own dump implementation. This makes backup operations flexible as it lifts the mongodumps' limitations and opens space for further improvements.
Changes in supported MongoDB versions
Starting from this release, PBM supports Percona Server for MongoDB 8.0 and MongoDB Community 8.0.
At the same time, PBM no longer supports Percona Server for MongoDB 5.0 and MongoDB Community 5.0 as it entered the end-of-life stage. Existing functionality remains compatible with version 5.0. However, we will no longer test new features and improvements against this version.
Known limitation
Selective backups and restores fail for setups with config shards. Find more details in PBM-1465.
