Define Default Backup Policy

The ability to save a custom backup policy as the default, so all new clusters don't have to be customized to meet the backup policy requirements.
  • ADMIN RESPONSE
    Aug 1, 2025
    Hello, I am pleased to announce that we have released our backup feature called Backup Compliance Policy ( https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/backup/cloud-backup/backup-compliance-policy/ ) , that enables the ability to define a default backup policy. Backup Compliance Policy allows organizations to configure a project-level policy to prevent the deletion of backups before a predefined period, guarantee all clusters have backup enabled, ensure that all clusters have a minimum backup retention and schedule policy in place, and more. With these controls, you can more easily satisfy data protection requirements (e.g., AppJ, DORA, immutable / WORM backups, etc.) without the need for manual processes. Please note that the Backup Compliance Policy can not be disabled without MongoDB support once enabled so please make sure to read our documentation thoroughly before enabling.
