Overview

By default, Ops Manager takes a base snapshot of a backed-up deployment every 6 hours and retains snapshots as described in Snapshot Frequency and Retention Policy. Administrators can change the frequency and retention settings.

You can view all available snapshots, as described here.

On-Demand Snapshots

By default, Ops Manager takes on-demand snapshots with the same retention that you configured on the snapshot settings for the daily snapshot. An on-demand snapshot doesn't alter the existing snapshot schedule. You can view on-demand snapshots on your View All Snapshots page.

Note

When you add or remove a shard from your cluster, Ops Manager initiates an on-demand snapshot.
