Stop, Start, or Disable the Ops Manager Backup Service

On this page

Overview

Stopping the Ops Manager Backup Service for a replica set or sharded cluster suspends the service for that resource. Ops Manager stops taking new snapshots but retains existing snapshots until their listed expiration date.

After stopping backups, you can restart the Backup Service at any time. Depending how much time has elapsed, the Backup Service may perform an initial sync.

Disabling the Ops Manager Backup Service, by contrast, immediately deletes all snapshots. Later, if you want back up the cluster or replica set, when you enable backup, Ops Manager behaves as if the resource has never been backed up. Enabling backups on a previously disabled resource always requires an initial sync.
