Back Up with Atlas
------------------

MongoDB Atlas, the official MongoDB cloud service, provides 2 fully-managed
methods for backups:

1. :atlas:`Continuous Backups </backup/continuous-backups>`, which take
incremental backups of data in your cluster, ensuring your backups are
typically just a few seconds behind the operational system. Atlas continuous
backups allow you to restore from stored snapshots or from a selected point
in time within the last 24 hours. You can also query a continuous backup
snapshot.

#. :atlas:`Cloud Provider Snapshots </backup/cloud-provider-snapshots>`, which
provide localized backup storage using the native snapshot functionality of
the cluster's cloud service provider.
MongoDB Atlas, the hosted MongoDB service option in the cloud, offers
two fully-managed methods for backups:

1. :atlas:`Cloud Backups </backup/cloud-backup/overview>`, which
utilize the native snapshot functionality of the
deployment's cloud service provider to offer robust backup options.
Cloud Backups provide:

- :atlas:`On-demand snapshots
</backup/cloud-backup/overview/#on-demand-snapshots>`, which allow
you to trigger an immediate snapshot of your deployment at a given
point in time.

- :atlas:`Continuous Cloud Backups
</backup/cloud-backup/overview/#continuous-cloud-backups>`, which
allow you to schedule recurring backups for your deployment.

#. :atlas:`Legacy Backups </backup/legacy-backup/overview/>`
*(Deprecated)*, which take incremental backups of data in your
deployment.
