Hello,

It says here: [https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-backup-mongodb/installation.html](https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-backup-mongodb/installation.html) that the pbm-agent has to be installed on every server that has mongod nodes.

In my case, I’m using MongoDB as a fully managed service so obviously I cannot deploy the agent on the different nodes of the cluster.

Are there any other scenarios available to still be able to use PBM on a managed service?

Thanks,

Christian

Hi cafebabe, unfortunately at this time is not possible to use PBM on a MongoDB managed service.
