MongoDB Database Backup and Recovery

MongoDB officially provides two main backup tools: mongodump/mongorestore and file system snapshots

---

Official backup tools can be downloaded here: database-tools, extract after downloading.

Put extracted files somewhere you like, then copy bin folder complete path.

Then add to system path variable.

1. Using mongodump to backup data

mongodump is MongoDB's officially provided command line backup tool, can export data as BSON/JSON format.

# No password
mongodump --uri "mongodb://localhost:27017" --out ./backup
# With password
mongodump --uri "mongodb://user:passwd@localhost:27017/" --out ./backup

Here mongodb://localhost:27017 refers to your database address, can copy from compass.

After execution, will create backup folder where you opened console, your data here.

2. Using mongorestore to restore data

After backup can use mongorestore to restore data: You need to open console in same directory as previous step's backup file and input this command.

mongorestore --uri "mongodb://localhost:27017/" --dir ./backup
