"MMS Backup offers point in time recovery of MongoDB replica sets and a consistent snapshot of sharded systems." http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/core/backups/ Alternatively, if the external database (MongoDB, or other) doesn't support consistent backups, I'd argue that it's better *not* to use the external backup mechanism and instead do an Oak-level backup to a TarMK repository.
