I tried to install the percona mongodb using docker but I’m getting this error:

2024/09/11 03:01:39 Exit: connect to PBM: create mongo connection: invalid connection string option: error parsing uri: unescaped colon in password

Is this because MongoDB atlas has an extra **+srv** in the uri string?

Hi, it is not possible to backup MongoDB Atlas instances with Percona Backup for MongoDB. Consider migrating to Percona Server for MongoDB.
