Install Backup Agent¶
The Backup Agent polls the primary MongoDB instance of every backup-enabled replica set and transmits the operations to the Ops Manager service.
The Backup Agent relies on the Ops Manager Monitoring Agent to populate the list of sharded clusters and replica sets eligible for backup. If the appropriate hosts are not added, or the Monitoring Agent is not being correctly run, the lists may be incomplete or out-of-date. If you have not already installed and configured Monitoring, please refer to the Install Monitoring Agent documentation.
