Revision history [back]

Create a backup of your MongoDB databases using the mongodump utility. This tool creates a binary export of the data in your databases, including all collections, indexes, and metadata. Here's an example command for creating a backup of all databases in your MongoDB instance:

mongodump --out /path/to/backup/directory

This will create a backup of all databases in your MongoDB instance and store it in the specified directory.

To restore a backup, use the mongorestore utility. This tool reads the binary export created by mongodump and restores the data to a MongoDB instance. Here's an example command for restoring a backup:

mongorestore /path/to/backup/directory
