Policies

NetBackup allows you to configure FULL, INCR, and TLOG backups for MongoDB Ops Manager assets using policies and schedules.

Note:

For policies created before NetBackup 11.2, a Differential Incremental schedule runs as an Incremental backup after upgrade.

To continue oplog backups (TLOG), update the policy and select Transaction log (TLOG) as the backup type.

Warning:

When defining policies for the same cluster, ensure that backup jobs of the same type do not run at the same time.

Use FULL schedules to create the base snapshot.
Use INCR schedules between FULL backups to transfer only changed data since the last FULL backup.
Use TLOG schedules to back up transaction logs (oplog) independently from snapshot backups.

Warning:

FULL and INCR schedules do not support point‑in‑time (PIT) restore. To meet PIT recovery objectives, configure and retain TLOG schedules.

Here are the key components of a NetBackup policy:

By configuring these components, NetBackup ensures that your data is backed up according to your organization's requirements and recovery objectives.
