Drop a MongoDB Backup
A clear, step-by-step guide that details the process of dropping a MongoDB backup from your replica set. This overview focuses on executing the essential commands to remove your backup, ensuring it is properly discarded and removed from your backup inventory—all without delving into advanced cleanup configurations or long-term backup management tasks.
Here's the backups inventory—your comprehensive list of all backups available across this replicaset and other MongoDB replicasets.
When you’re ready to delete a backup, simply drag it from the backups inventory onto the bin icon to initiate the deletion process.
Instantly, a REST API command is generated—your key to automating future backup drop operations with your DEVOPS tool.
Once everything is set, press "yes" to start the drop process.
You'll see a status update indicating that the drop process has begun, followed by another update confirming that the backup was dropped successfully.
And there you have it—your backup has been properly removed from the system!
