Restore a Deployment to MongoDB Atlas
On this page
- OAuth 2.0 authentication for programmatic access to Cloud Manager is available as a Preview feature.
- The feature and the corresponding documentation might change at any time during the Preview period. To use OAuth 2.0 authentication, create a service account to use in your requests to the Cloud Manager Public API.
You can automatically restore a backup for a Cloud Manager deployment to a MongoDB Atlas deployment. Atlas is a fully-managed cloud database that handles the complexities of deploying, managing, and healing deployments running on the AWS, Azure, and Google cloud providers.
Prerequisites
See Prerequisites for a list of prerequisites required for all automatic restores to Atlas deployments. In addition, you must have the following roles to perform this procedure:
Project Backup Adminon the source Cloud Manager deploymentProject Owneron the target Atlas deployment
If you have not yet created a destination Atlas cluster, see Create a Cluster.
Note
Your Atlas deployment must use M10 or larger instance nodes. Shared Cluster Tier deployments do not support restoring snapshots from Cloud Manager clusters.
You cannot restore a Cloud Manager backup snapshot to an Atlas deployment with Encryption at Rest enabled.
Considerations
Before you restore a snapshot from a Cloud Manager deployment to an Atlas deployment, ensure that the hosts for your Atlas deployment have sufficient storage space for the restored databases, plus additional space for dataset growth. Use db.stats() to find the current database size.
The MongoDB server version must be one of the following:
The same on both deployments.
One version higher on the Atlas deployment.
In addition, the instance types of the nodes in the Atlas deployment should have at least as much memory and throughput capacity as the nodes in the Cloud Manager deployment.
Procedure
In MongoDB Cloud Manager, go to the Continuous Backup page for your project.
If it is not already displayed, select the organization that contains your desired project from the Organizations menu in the navigation bar.
If it's not already displayed, select your desired project from the Projects menu in the navigation bar.
Click Continuous Backup in the sidebar.
