How do I create a MongoDB dump of my database

Question

What command do I use and run

User · Answer

You need to open command prompt as an administrator in a folder where your Mongo is installed (in my case: C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin). If you want to dump your whole database, you can just use:

mongodump --db database_name

You also have posibilities to dump only certain collection(s), or to dump all but certain collection(s).

If you want to dump only one collection (for example users):

mongodump  --db database_name --collection users

If you want to dump all but users collection:

mongodump  --db database_name --excludeCollection=users

It is also possible to output the dump to an archive file:

mongodump --archive=test.archive --db database_name

You can also use gzip for taking backup of one collection and compressing the backup on the fly   mongodump --db somedb --collection somecollection --out -   gzip  gt  collectiondump gz   or with a date in the file name   mongodump --db somedb --collection somecollection --out -   gzip  gt  dump  date    Y- m- d   gz   Update  Backup all collections of a database in a date folder  The files are gziped   mongodump --db somedb --gzip --out  backups  date    Y- m- d     Or for a single archive   mongodump --db somedb --gzip --archive  gt  dump  date    Y- m- d   gz   Or when mongodb is running inside docker   docker exec  lt CONTAINER gt  sh -c  exec mongodump --db somedb --gzip --archive   gt  dump  date    Y- m- d   gz
