Restoring with Veeam Explorer for MongoDB

You can restore MongoDB data from backups created with the MongoDB Backup feature of Veeam Backup & Replication. Veeam Backup & Replication supports restore of entire instances or certain collections to the original or to another location. Veeam Backup & Replication restores MongoDB data to the time when the restore point was created.

Before you perform database restore, consider the following:

• The backup policy that created the backup must be present in Veeam Backup & Replication.

• To restore to another location under another user account, the account must have the Restore operator or Backup administrator role on the Veeam backup server.
• To restore to another location, you must perform the restore operation on the target server, where you want to place the restored instance or collection.

To restore MongoDB data, Veeam Backup & Replication uses Veeam Explorer for MongoDB for restore operations. To learn more about restore operations, see the following sections in Veeam Explorers User Guide:

1. Restoring Single Collection
2. Restoring Multiple Collections
3. Restoring Instance
