Step 3. Specify Deployments
At the Deployments step of the wizard, select the MongoDB replica sets that you want to add to the protection group.
To add a MongoDB replica set to a protection group, do the following:
- In the DNS name or IP address field, enter a full DNS name, NetBIOS name or IP address of the MongoDB replica set that you want to add to the protection group.
- In the Port field, specify a port number over which Veeam Backup & Replication must communicate with the MongoDB replica set. By default, Veeam Backup & Replication uses port 27017.
- From the Account list, select a user account that has administrative permissions on the replica set that you want to add to the protection group. Veeam Backup & Replication will use this account to connect to the MongoDB replica set and collect information about replica set configuration. For more information, see Rescan Job.
If you have not set up credentials beforehand, click the Manage accounts link or click Add on the right to add credentials. For more information, see the Credentials Manager section in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.
- Repeat steps 1–3 for every MongoDB replica set that you want to add to the protection group.
- Veeam Backup & Replication uses SCRAM authentication mechanism to connect to the MongoDB replica set. If you also want to use a secure TLS protocol, select the Use TLS check box.
Keep in mind, to use the TLS protocol, the Certificate Authority file of the target replica set must be added to the Trusted Root Certification Authorities certificate store of the backup server. Otherwise, backup operations will fail.
