PBM - The Backup Open Source Tool for MongoDB
summary
Percona Backup for MongoDB (PBM) adds a physical hot‑copy in 1.7 alongside the existing mongodump logical backups, but point‑in‑time recovery works only for logical backups today and physical is still tech‑preview. Benchmarks on a ~130 GB dataset show physical backup itself is nearly instant while upload dominates, and zstd gives ~48% compression (physical files ~40% smaller) — restores and total times depend mainly on network/storage, not CPU.
