MongoDB Plugin: Configuration

Bacula Enterprise Only

This solution is only available for Bacula Enterprise. For subscription inquiries, please reach out to sales@baculasystems.com.

This chapter explains how to configure Bacula jobs and Filesets for the MongoDB Plugin. Once the plugin is installed, MongoDB backups are configured like other Bacula Enterprise backup jobs: create a Fileset that invokes the plugin, attach that Fileset to a Job, and schedule it according to the required recovery point objective.

}

FileSet {
