Open-source MongoDB PITR system restores to second before disaster
A developer built an open-source point-in-time recovery system for MongoDB using oplog replay, Docker, and Google Drive. The tool allows restoring databases to any second, not just nightly backup points. It addresses the common failure of scheduled backups when accidental drops occur between them.

Useful for small teams without enterprise backup tools, but production readiness and scalability remain unproven.

Nightly backups aren’t enough when someone drops the wrong MongoDB collection. I built an open-source PITR system using oplog replay, Docker, and Google Drive - so you can restore to the second before disaster. Feedback welcome! →
