Data Transmission Solutions

Automatic minor version upgrades

Limitations

Standalone instances do not support incremental data migration or synchronization.

Data migration solutions

• Available migration methods:

  Important

  Standalone instances do not support incremental data migration.

  • Data Transmission Service (DTS) supports full and incremental migration without service interruptions. Data Transmission Service (DTS).

    Important

    DTS does not support migration for MongoDB 7.0 instances. Check Supported databases for compatibility.

  • Use mongodump and mongorestore for full data migration.

  • Migrate cloud data to a self-managed database using physical or logical backup files.

• Migration methods by scenario:

  Migration scenarios	Source database architecture	Documentation
  Migrate a self-managed MongoDB database to ApsaraDB for MongoDB	Standalone or replica set	Migrate a self-managed MongoDB database that runs on an ECS instance and uses a standalone or replica set architecture to ApsaraDB for MongoDB
  	Sharded cluster	Migrate a self-managed MongoDB database that runs on an ECS instance and uses a sharded cluster architecture to ApsaraDB for MongoDB
  	Standalone	Use DTS to migrate a self-managed MongoDB database that uses a standalone architecture to ApsaraDB for MongoDB Use MongoDB tools to migrate a self-managed database to an ApsaraDB for MongoDB standalone instance
  	Replica set	Use DTS to migrate a self-managed MongoDB database that uses a replica set architecture to ApsaraDB for MongoDB Use MongoDB tools to migrate a self-managed database to an ApsaraDB for MongoDB replica set instance
  	Sharded cluster	Use DTS to migrate a self-managed MongoDB database that uses a sharded cluster architecture to ApsaraDB for MongoDB Use MongoDB tools to migrate a self-managed database to an ApsaraDB for MongoDB sharded cluster instance
  Migrate a third-party cloud database to ApsaraDB for MongoDB	ReplicaSet or sharded cluster	Migrate Amazon DynamoDB to Alibaba Cloud using NimoShake
  	ReplicaSet or sharded cluster	Migrate a MongoDB Atlas database to ApsaraDB for MongoDB using MongoDB tools Migrate a MongoDB Atlas database to ApsaraDB for MongoDB using DTS
  	Single node or ReplicaSet	Migrate a Huawei Cloud document database to ApsaraDB for MongoDB using DTS
  	ReplicaSet	Incrementally migrate Tencent Cloud MongoDB to ApsaraDB for MongoDB using DTS Perform a full data migration from a Tencent Cloud MongoDB replica set instance to ApsaraDB for MongoDB using DTS Migrate Tencent Cloud MongoDB to ApsaraDB for MongoDB using MongoDB tools
  Migrate data between ApsaraDB for MongoDB instances	Replica set	Migrate data from an ApsaraDB for MongoDB replica set instance to a sharded cluster instance
  	Single node	Migrate data from an ApsaraDB for MongoDB standalone instance to a ReplicaSet or sharded cluster instance
  	Serverless	Migrate data from a Serverless instance to a ReplicaSet or sharded cluster instance using MongoShake Back up and restore data of ApsaraDB for MongoDB Serverless instances using MongoDB tools
  	Single node or ReplicaSet	Migrate an ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance across Alibaba Cloud accounts
  	Single node, ReplicaSet, or sharded cluster	Migrate an ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance to another region
  Migrate data from ApsaraDB for MongoDB to a self-managed MongoDB database	ReplicaSet	Restore data from a cloud disk backup Restore data from a local disk backup

Data synchronization solutions

• Available synchronization methods:

  Important

  Standalone instances do not support data synchronization.

  • Use DTS to synchronize data between MongoDB databases. Notes and limits on data synchronization when the source database is a MongoDB database.

    Important

    DTS does not support synchronization for MongoDB 7.0 instances. Check Supported databases for compatibility.

  • Cloud disaster recovery synchronizes data between MongoDB databases.

  • MongoShake, an Alibaba Cloud tool, synchronizes data between MongoDB databases.

• Synchronization methods by scenario:

  Synchronization scenario	Synchronization tool	Documentation
  Instance synchronization	DTS	Synchronize data from an ApsaraDB for MongoDB replica set instance to an ApsaraDB for MongoDB replica set or sharded cluster instance Configure two-way synchronization between ApsaraDB for MongoDB sharded cluster instances
  Synchronize to a new instance	N/A	Create a disaster recovery instance Note Cloud disaster recovery and multi-active architectures.
  Synchronize to an existing instance	MongoShake	Use MongoShake to implement one-way synchronization between MongoDB replica set instances
