Replication vs Disaster Recovery
MongoDB includes native replication
and automated failover to ensure
availability
• Secondaries apply operations from
the primary asynchronously
• Delayed secondaries can be
configured to reflect an earlier state of
the data set

Replication vs Disaster Recovery
Replication not ideal for disaster
recovery as dropped/altered documents
in the primary will make their way into
secondaries.

12. RTO ≠ Speed of a car with a box
full of disks

13. Backup and Restore
Continuous & Consistent Backups with Point in Time Restore
Faster backups and
recovery
Queryable
snapshots
Backup to object
store
Cross-project
restores

14. Point-in-Time Data Recovery
• Lets you select a restore time based on your PIT window
• Restores the closest snapshot and rolls ahead
• Reduces the possibility of data loss

15. What About Small Disasters?
• The application is working fine
• But there is data missing or
has been altered
• No time to do a full restore

16. Queryable Backups
• Ability to query your snapshots and
restore data at the document level in
minutes.
• Reduces the operational overhead
associated with:
• Identifying whether data of interest
has been altered
• Pinpointing the best point in time to
restore a database

17. Sample Queryable Script
db = source.locations
db2 = destination.locations
zips = db.zipcodes
zips2 = db2.zipcodes
def restore():
print "Finding Missing Data"
query = {'state': 'CO'}
try:
cursor = zips.find(query)
except Exception as e:
print "Unexpected error:", type(e), e
for doc in cursor:
zips2.insert(doc)
