Supported MongoDB versions

Percona Backup for MongoDB is compatible with:

  • MongoDB Community / Enterprise Edition with MongoDB Replication enabled. Percona Backup for MongoDB supports only logical backups.
  • Percona Server for MongoDB with MongoDB Replication for logical backups. For physical and incremental backups, also configure WiredTiger as the storage engine.

Navigate to the required compatibility matrix to see what MongoDB versions your current PBM release is compatible with for backups and restores.

End-of-life MongoDB versions may work with PBM, but they are not tested for compatibility. Consider using a previous PBM version in this case.
