  Hi,

  I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right section, also I know this is a SQL Server forum and as a SQL Server DBA I need some help in setting up backup strategy for MongoDB that we are planning to use for some minor cases.

  What I have at the moment is 3 node Replica Set with 1 arbiter. What I can't find a clear answer to is how and how ofted do I backup so that i have the ability to later restore to a point in time, do I use mongodupm or MongoDB Management Service?

  Please help

  Have you checked the MongoDB documents here:
  The MongoDB 3.4 Manual
  
  You might have better luck asking this in one of the MongoDB forums. Here is a link to one, I'd guess there are others:
