White Paper
Data Resilience Strategy with MongoDB Atlas
This white paper explains how organizations can protect data against catastrophic failures, human error, ransomware, cyberattacks, and increasingly stringent regulatory requirements. A resilience strategy begins by defining application-specific recovery point objectives, recovery time objectives, and retention requirements, then combining preventative and recovery controls. MongoDB Atlas supports distributed replica sets, multi-region and multi-cloud deployment, encryption, termination protection, backup compliance policies, continuous cloud backups, point-in-time recovery, and geographically distributed snapshots. An example configuration uses a 2-2-1 multi-region topology, client-side encryption for sensitive data, a one-minute RPO, a 15-minute RTO, and immutable long-term retention. Atl
