Update One Backup Configuration

Note

Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your {PROJECT-ID} is the same as your project id. For existing groups, your group/project id remains the same. This page uses the more familiar term group when referring to descriptions. The endpoint remains as stated in the document.

PATCH /groups/{projectId}/backupConfigs/{clusterId}

Request Parameters

Request Path Parameters

Path Parameter	Type	Necessity	Description
projectId	string	Required	Unique 24-hexadecimal digit string that identifies the project that holds the cluster with the backup configuration you want to change.
clusterId	string	Required	Unique 24-hexadecimal digit string that identifies the cluster whose backup configuration you want to change.

Request Query Parameters

The following query parameters are optional:

Name	Type	Necessity	Description	Default
pretty	boolean	Optional	Flag indicating whether the response body should be in a prettyprint format.	false
envelope	boolean	Optional	Flag that indicates whether or not to wrap the response in an envelope. Some API clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or status code. To remediate this, set envelope=true in the query. For endpoints that return one result, the response body includes: Name Description status HTTP response code envelope Expected response body	false

Request Body Parameters

Name	Type	Necessity	Description
authMechanismName	string	Conditional	Authentication mechanism needed to connect to the sync source database. Cloud Manager requires this parameter if the sync store uses authentication. Cloud Manager accepts: MONGODB_CR (This covers SCRAM-SHA-1, SCRAM-SHA-256, and MONGODB-CR.) GSSAPI PLAIN MONGODB_X509 NONE
excludedNamespaces	array of strings	Conditional	Note Cloud Manager accepts this parameter for backup jobs running MongoDB FCV 4.0 or earlier. Cloud Manager ignores this parameter when backing up MongoDB databases running FCV 4.2 or later. List of database and collection names to omit from the backup. Each string represents one namespace. Namespaces use the format of {database} or {database}.{collection}. This parameter must meet the following conditions: Cloud Manager accepts this parameter or includedNamespaces, not both. Cloud Manager requires the new full list of excluded namespaces, including any already found in the array. If your new list removes any namespaces from the existing array, set the syncSource parameter. Removing an excluded namespace requires a full resync. Without the syncSource parameter, the request fails. If your new list only adds to the existing array, don’t set syncSource.
includedNamespaces	array of strings	Conditional	Note Cloud Manager accepts this parameter for backup jobs running MongoDB FCV 4.0 or earlier. Cloud Manager ignores this parameter when backing up MongoDB databases running FCV 4.2 or later. List of database and collection names to include from the backup. Each string represents one namespace. Namespaces use the format of {database} or {database}.{collection}. This parameter must meet the following conditions: Cloud Manager accepts this parameter or excludedNamespaces, not both. Cloud Manager requires the new full list of included namespaces, including any already found in the array. If the new list adds any namespaces from existing array, set the syncSource parameter. Adding an included namespace requires a full resync. Without the syncSource parameter, the request fails. If the new list only removes namespaces from the existing array, don’t set syncSource.
password	string	Conditional	Password to use to connect to the sync source database. Cloud Manager requires this parameter when the sync store mongod instances require clients to authenticate.
preferredMember	string	Optional	Cluster member that a user designates as the preferred replica set member to create snapshots. You can set the preferred member using the console. View available replica set members that can act as a preferred member using the Get one backup config endpoint.
provisioned	boolean	Conditional	Flag that indicates if Cloud Manager has provisioned the resources needed to store a backup.
sslEnabled	boolean	Optional	Flag that indicates if TLS is enabled for the sync source database.
statusName	string	Optional	Current (or desired) status of the backup configuration. Cloud Manager accepts: INACTIVE PROVISIONING STARTED STOPPED TERMINATING
storageEngineName	string	Optional	Storage engine used for the backup. Cloud Manager accepts: MEMORY_MAPPED WIRED_TIGER
syncSource	string	Conditional	mongod instance to get backup data from. Cloud Manager accepts either a specific hostname or one of: PRIMARY and SECONDARY. Cloud Manager requires this parameter if “storageEngineName” : “WIRED_TIGER”.
username	string	Conditional	Name of the user to use to connect to the sync source database. Cloud Manager requires this parameter when the sync store mongod instances require clients to authenticate. Send this parameter to Cloud Manager when updating the backup configuration for a replica set or sharded cluster that Cloud Manager doesn’t manage.

Response

Name	Type	Description
authMechanismName	string	Name of the authentication mechanism to use when connecting to the sync source database. Cloud Manager returns this parameter if the sync store uses authentication.
clusterId	string	Unique identifier of the cluster to which this backup configuration applies.
excludedNamespaces	array of strings	List of database names and collection names to omit from the backup. Each string is a namespace in the form of {database} or {database}.{collection}.
includedNamespaces	array of strings	List of database names and collection names to include in the backup. Each string is a namespace in the form of {database} or {database}.{collection}.
links	object array	One or more links to sub-resources and/or related resources. All links arrays in responses include at least one link called self. The relationships between URLs are explained in the Web Linking Specification.
preferredMember	string	Cluster member that a user designates as the preferred replica set member to create snapshots. You can set the preferred member using the console. View available replica set members that can act as a preferred member using the Get one backup config endpoint.
projectId	string	Unique identifier of the project that owns this backup configuration.
provisioned	boolean	Flag that indicates if Cloud Manager has provisioned the resources needed to store a backup. Cloud Manager returns this parameter when the amount of data to be backed up exceeds a certain threshold.
sslEnabled	boolean	Flag that indicates if TLS is enabled for the sync source database.
statusName	string	Current (or desired) status of the backup configuration.
storageEngineName	string	Storage engine used for the backup.

• Preferred Member Request

curl --user "{publicKey}:{privateKey}" --digest \
     --header "Accept: application/json" \
     --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
     --include --request PATCH "https://cloud.mongodb.com/api/public/v1.0/groups/{projectId}/backupConfigs/{clusterId}"

         "storageEngineName": "WIRED_TIGER",
         "syncSource": "primary"
       }'

When each snapshot starts, Cloud Manager selects a replica set member to run the snapshot. This automatically selected member should have the least performance impact on the replica set. You can override the default selection.

Important

Use default selection whenever possible. This choice ensures backup availability.

The following request sets the preferred member.
