Adding Protection Group to Veeam Agent Backup Job

You can add a protection group for MongoDB to a Veeam Agent backup job that you have configured in Veeam Backup & Replication. This may be useful if you want to create an image-level backup of the protected computer with Veeam Agent for Linux instead of an application-level backup of MongoDB data. To learn more about Veeam Agent backup jobs, see Adding Computer to Backup Job.

Important

You cannot simultaneously back up the same computer with an application backup policy for MongoDB and a Veeam Agent backup policy. If you plan to create a Veeam Agent backup policy for the computer and MongoDB data on this computer is already protected with an application-level backup, delete this computer from the backup scope of the application-level backup. For details, see Editing Protection Group Settings.

Alternatively, if you need to create an image-level backup of a node in a MongoDB replica set, you can exclude this node from the backup scope of the protection group for MongoDB. In this case it can be backed-up with Veeam Agent backup policy. For details on how to exclude the node from the backup scope, see Specify Computers.

You can add the whole protection group to the Veeam Agent backup job:

Open the Inventory view.
In the inventory pane, in the Physical Infrastructure node, select a protection group you want to add to a Veeam Agent backup job and do one of the following:

In the inventory pane, select the protection group that you want to add to the job and click Add to Backup > Linux > name of the job on the ribbon.
In the working area, right-click the computer that you want to add to the job and select Add to backup job > Linux > name of the job.

Note

You can add a protection group to a Veeam Agent backup job configured for computers of the same platform. For example, you can add a protection group for MongoDB only to a Veeam Agent backup job for Linux computers.
