MongoDB database backup stored in your Filebase Bucket.
Let's see how we can easily schedule MongoDB backups and store them on Filebase.
Filebase is a S3-compatible solution powered by Blockchain technology, offering storage at a very affordable price. It leverage a unique decentralized cloud storage network of hundreds of servers all around the world. With 5GB of free storage, no upload fees an no egress fees, it's a perfect pick for your backup storage.
Once logged in, click on "Create bucket"
Define a name for your bucket
Information you'll need in step 3:
Now that your bucket is created, we'll need to get the credentials required to access it.
Like everything with Filebase (and we like this!) it's super easy.
Information you'll need in step 3:
You'll have to input :
And your storage is now connected!
Last step is obviously to schedule your backup.
From this screen you'll be able to configure what data you're backing up (MongoDB in this case), where you want it to be saved (in this case your Filebase Bucket), and how often you want this to be done.
FYI this section will be the same, no matter what storage you pick. And that's the beauty of it, if you want to change storage, just select another one from the list (Backblaze, AWS, or whatever you might prefer) and you'll be good to go.
Select your schedule option (here we picked a daily schedule)
You can select a pre-defined schedule (daily, weekly, monthly) or a custom option allowing you to schedule it whenever you want using CRON syntax.
Example of CRON schedule for "20:00 every Tuesday" = 0 22 * * 2
Finally the "On demand" option won't schedule anything but will allow you to trigger the backup manually or using our API.
That's it, your MongoDB backup is now ready and connected to your Filebase Bucket.
Run it once manually (using the "Run" backup button from the backups list) and you'll trigger your first backup!
