Backup Encryption Keys

Important

Backups of MongoDB databases use the deployment's encryption setting.

MongoDB Enterprise enables administrators to encrypt backups. Administrators must integrate with a KMIP server. This server generates and manages a master key that Ops Manager uses to encrypt the head databases during a backup operation. MongoDB recommends periodically rotating the KMIP master key for increased security.
