To restore the MMS(BRS) backup to a replica set, it is not necessary to restore it to a standalone mongod instance first, and then convert it to a single node replica set.
Step 2 in the Restore Database into a Single Node Replica Set section is not required to restore the MMS backup to a replica set.
It would help if we can have different documents for restoring a replica set from different backups since the steps could be different for these different types of backups:
- Restore a replica set from MMS backups. (The backups are dbfiles, without the local database)
- Restore a replica set from mongodump. (The backups are dumps. The documents can be replicated to the secondaries automatically when running mongodump)
- Restore a replica set from filesystem backups. (The backups could also include the backup of the local database)
