During a *physical* backup, Percona Backup for MongoDB copies the contents of the `dbpath` directory (data and metadata files, indexes, journal and logs) from every shard and config server replica set to the backup storage.
!!! warning

During the period the backup cursor is open, database checkpoints can be created, but no checkpoints can be deleted. This may result in significant file growth.

Starting with [2.4.0](../release-notes/2.4.0.md), PBM doesn't stop [point-in-time recovery oplog slicing](../features/point-in-time-recovery.md#oplog-slicing), if it's enabled, but runs it in parallel. This ensures [point-in-time recovery](pitr-tutorial.md) to any timestamp if it takes too long (e.g. hours) to make a backup snapshot.
