Backup MongoDB

AWS RDS-like backup service for mongo

This application creates complete backups of a MongoDB database.

It behaves like the backup system in AWS RDS, i.e., it removes old backups, then creates a new backup. You can configure the retention period in weeks like in AWS RDS.

It's possible to configure the cron expression according to your needs, refer cron expression generator.

It supports two storage types as of now, local and aws.
