The cloud database MongoDB supports automatic backup. Users can set a backup policy according to their business requirements. Therefore, the system can back up the database automatically, ensuring data security.
Introduction to Automatic Backup Policy
The automatic backup policy of the cloud database MongoDB consists of the following items:
