Under the hood, we store logical oplogs along with physical backups into the object storage. The trick is to use the oplogOnly flag, which would instruct Percona Backup for MongoDB to upload oplogs to the object storage without waiting for the logical backup. There, you can either integrate with AWS KMS or use AES-256 key.

MongoDB is a non-relational document database that provides support for JSON-like storage. It is best practice to have an odd number of replica set members to maintain voting quorum. Indexing can help to speed up read queries, but it comes with an extra cost of storage, and they will slow down write operations.
