PMM supports the following actions for MongoDB backups. 

## Replica set setups

  - Storing backups on Amazon S3-compatible object storage, and on mounted filesystem
  - Creating and restoring Logical snapshot backups
  - Creating and restoring Physical snapshot backups
  - Creating logical PITR backups both locally and on S3-compatible object storage. Restoring logical PITR backups from S3-compatible object storage.

  
## Sharded clusters
Backups of sharded clusters is supported starting with PMM 2.38. However, restoring for sharded cluster configurations is only supported from the CLI, and is handled via [Percona Backup for MongoDB](https://docs.percona.com/percona-backup-mongodb/usage/restore.html).
