Differential and log backup on MongoDB

Question

Is it possible to take differential and log backup on mongodb like on microsoft SQL server?

Answer 1

MongoDB is completely different from MSSQL server. And you can't take Differential and Log backup directly from MongoDB. But you can try OpLog backup method, but I never encourage to use this in production.

My Suggestions:

• Use replica set with delayed commit node.
• Use LVM snapshots.
• If you are using AWS, take EBS volume level backups.
