Percona Backup for MongoDB 2.4.0

On March 5, 2024, Percona Backup for MongoDB 2.4.0 was released. It is a distributed, low-impact solution for consistent backups of MongoDB sharded clusters and replica sets. This is a tool for creating consistent backups across a MongoDB sharded cluster (or a non-sharded replica set), and for restoring those backups to a specific point in time. A release highlight is that you can now delete backup snapshots of a specific type. For example, delete only logical backups that you might have created and no longer need. You can also check what exactly will be deleted with the new --dry-run flag. This improvement helps you better meet the organization’s backup policy and improves your experience with cleaning up outdated data.
