|pbm| |release|
********************************************************************************

|percona| is happy to announce the GA release of our latest software product
|pbm| |version| on |date|.

|pbm| is a distributed, low-impact solution for consistent backups of |mongodb|
sharded clusters and replica sets. This is a tool for creating consistent
backups across a |mongodb| sharded cluster (or a single replica set), and for
restoring those backups to a specific point in time. The project was inspired by
(and intends to replace) the Percona-Lab/mongodb_consistent_backup tool.

|pbm| supports `Percona Server for MongoDB
<https://www.percona.com/software/mongo-database/percona-server-for-mongodb>`_
or `MongoDB Community Server
<https://www.mongodb.com/download-center/community>`_ version 3.6 or higher with
`MongoDB replication <https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/replication/>`_
enabled. Binaries for the supported platforms as well as the tarball with source
code are available from the `Percona Backup for MongoDB download page
<https://www.percona.com/downloads/percona-backup-mongodb/>`_. For more
information about |pbm| and the installation steps, see the :ref:`documentation
<pbm.index>`.

|pbm| |release| features the following:

- The architecture and the authentication of |pbm| have been simplified compared
  to the previous release.
- Stores backup data on `Amazon Simple Storage Service
  <https://aws.amazon.com/s3/>`_ or compatible storages, such as `MinIO
  <https://min.io/>`_.
- The output of |pbm-list| shows all backups created from the connected MongoDB
  sharded cluster or replica set.
