Daily Backup Administration
As I previously mentioned, this backup feature is useless for anything but tiny sites. Disable it.
Manage Referrers
Collecting referrers is ok, but don't display them publicly if you run a site on the Internet. Otherwise you run a risk of exposing some internal only URIs that might contain confidential information.

4. Backup - Vreeam Rocks - Make sure you setup jumbo packets, and be a bit
patient on setup to learn the product. But it really works quite well. You need scratch space to dump the backup file. And use Yosemite to write the backup image to the tape library.

Backup
There are basically two approaches to backing up a Mongo database:
mongodump and mongorestore are the classic approach. Dumps the contents of the database to files. The backup is stored in the same format as Mongo uses internally, so is very efficient. But it's not a point-in-time snapshot.
Backup from a slave. To take a point-in-time snapshot you need to shut the database down, copy the disk files (e.g. with cp ), and then start mongod up again. This is why everybody …

Backup Cross storage engine backup is a pain because they are so different. Some of them are distributed and some in memory so even OS level approaches such as LVM backup may not work in all cases. We also get into synchronization aspects making backup which prevents from having hot backup in many cases.
