On demand snapshots in Ops Manager

Allow the possibility of performing a snapshot on-demand. Usually the snapshot time ends too far away in time after configuration changes of the backup job (i.e: changing the block size). For testing purposes it would make sense to allow performing a snapshot on-demand to get it generated and proceed with further testing/tuning if required.

    We are excited to announce that on demand snapshots ( https://www.mongodb.com/docs/ops-manager/current/tutorial/view-snapshots/#on-demand-snapshots ) are now available in Ops Manager 8.0.0 ( https://www.mongodb.com/docs/ops-manager/current/release-notes/application/#onprem-server-8.0 ) , that was released on Sept 30th, through the UI and the API. Please note that on demand snapshots are always full snapshots so please plan accordingly before initiating. We will also be backporting this to a future minor version of OM 7.0.x with a target of release before the end of 2024.

    Hi team, we'd love this feature in ops manager because as our deployments get larger in size it becomes nearly impossible to meet deadlines while doing a mongodump. Thank you

    Hi Team, Adhoc backups feature will be really helpful for many scenarios. It will be great if this feature gets included in Ops Manager

    Team, It will be great if we can get this soon. Even though we have continuous backups, we still need adhoc backups for our envs in some cases. Thanks.

    We too prefer we feature. While continuous backup is good for oltp application, but it is little helpful for batch jobs. The batch jobs drops and reload collections .. it puts pressure on oplog store. We prefer on-demand or adhoc snapshot for batch job applications. We prefer adhoc-snapshot feature separate from continuous backup. With on-demand we can create checkpoints.
