I’m trying to take backup for my m0 sandbox cluster and after numerous failures, I ended up at percona. I read the documentation but couldn’t figure out how to take backup, Can someone say if it’s possible ? Thank you.

I don’t think you can use Atlas M0 cluster and any percona backup solution. As it is strictly related to MongoDB Cloud.  
I would suggest to go for mongodump utility.

Can you please share the link where you read about the percona backup. I can check it out further.

I was just searching for the MongoDB backup option and found percona here: [mongodb-backup · GitHub Topics · GitHub](https://github.com/topics/mongodb-backup). I tried using mongodump but it did not work, Ran the command and It did nothing literally, no files created, no errors, no message, nothing. Hence, was searching for an alternative way and stumbled upon percona.
