Hello team,  
Is it possible to use a physical backup for MongoDB deployed on an EC2 instance in shared mode?  
Maybe I missed something, could you send me instructions on how to do it?

Hi @Serhii_Plesovskykh  
Welcome to community forum!  
Regarding deploying PBM over EC2 instance is possible. Please go through the PBM setup instruction over [here](https://docs.percona.com/percona-backup-mongodb/install/initial-setup.html).

Thanks,  
Mukesh
