 Description   

This page is inaccurate fro sharded cluster PIT restores:
"To select a custom snapshot, click the Restore button at the top of the page. In the resulting page, select a snapshot as the starting point. Then select the Use Custom Point In Time checkbox and enter the point in time in the Date and Time fields. MMS includes all operations up to but not including the point in time. For example, if you select 12:00, the last operation in the restore is 11:59:59 or earlier. Click Next."

Rather, for sharded clusters, PIT restores are limited to the cluster checkpoints (https://docs.mms.mongodb.com/core/backup-preparations/#checkpoints) who's granularity can be configured.

Importantly, "Backup does not require checkpoints, and they are disabled by default" which means we should call this out in the documentation for PIT restores since they are only available if enabled in the schedule.

andrew.davidson@10gen.com I've just published – the updated tutorial is at https://docs.mms.mongodb.com/tutorial/restore-sharded-cluster/. Let me know if you'd like me to call out the need to enable checkpoints more prominently in the steps!

Today's publication (which includes all the GUI updates and revised restore tutorials) clarifies the point in time restores for sharded clusters. I'll be pushing it out in the next hour.
