Start and Stop the Backup Daemon¶
On this page
The Ops Manager Application manages backups for FCV 4.2 and later. To ensure high availability of backups, deploy sufficient number of Ops Manager hosts with a load balancer. To learn how to deploy Ops Manager with high availability, see Configure a Highly Available Ops Manager Application.
Important
Backups depend upon which version of MongoDB your database is compatible. This Feature Compatibility Version ranges from the current version to one version earlier. For example, with MongoDB 5.0, the FCV can be 4.4 or 5.0. Backup changed with the MongoDB 4.2. Backup configuration and execution changed between FCV 4.0 and FCV 4.2.
Even though we recommend that you deploy Ops Manager with high availability, for FCV 4.2 and later, you must run at least one Backup Daemon on a server.
The following procedure demontrates how to start and stop the Backup Daemon on a server.
Procedure¶
Start the Backup Daemon:
Stop the Backup Daemon:
Restart the Backup Daemon:
Check the status of the Backup Daemon:
