Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

MongoDB is a popular NoSQL database that is used for storing large amounts of data in a flexible and JSON-like format. The Backup and Restore in MongoDB is an important part to handle a database. This utility is important because the valuable data can be removed or crashed or corrupted from the server. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prerequisite<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. An SSH user access with sudo privileges<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Mongo DB credentials if it is authenticated<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. The `mongodump` and `mongorestore` command line tools, which are included with the MongoDB installation<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Implementation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 1: SSH the server and convert the user to the root<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    $ ssh user@IP
    $ sudo su<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Step 2: Backing Up a MongoDB Database<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    $ mongodump –host <hostname> –db <dbname> –out <\/backup directory path\/>

    If the Mongo DB is running on the local host, the hostname is not required

    $ mongodump –db <dbname> –out <backup directory path><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • –username and –password: The credentials to use to authenticate to the database<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Step 3: Restoring a MongoDB Database<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      $ mongorestore –db <dbname> <\/backup directory path\/>

      Use –drop option delete all data from the target database before restoring it

      $ mongorestore –db <dbname> –drop <\/backup directory path\/><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n\n
