      As part of highly available backups, we often advise customers to have dedicated restore daemons. This should be at least mentioned on this page, https://docs.opsmanager.mongodb.com/current/tutorial/configure-backup-high-availability/ but I can't find this option (or a discussion of its merits) anywhere in our documentation.

      Can you amend the page as follows:


      "To configure high availability

      • scale your deployment horizontally by using multiple backup daemons
      • add dedicated restore daemons by configuring some daemons to focus on restore jobs exclusively
      • provide failover for your Ops Manager Application Database and Backup Database by deploying replica sets for the dedicated MongoDB processes that host the databases."

      Then you'll need to add a heading for "Dedicated Restore Daemons"

      "To increase the speed of restore times, it is often advantageous to add dedicated restore daemons, particularly if there are multiple backup jobs per daemon. To configure dedicated restore daemons, you will need to adjust the settings per backup daemon on the Daemon configuration page. (link: https://docs.opsmanager.mongodb.com/current/core/administration-interface/index.html#daemons-page)"


      On the page https://docs.opsmanager.mongodb.com/current/core/administration-interface/index.html#daemons-page , can you please amend this line:

      Restore Jobs Allows the daemon to take more restore jobs.
      to
      Restore Jobs Allows the daemon to take restore jobs. If only this box is checked, the daemon will be limited to exclusively restore requests.
