# Dump A Remote Database
|
|
|
|
Here is a single-line script for dumping a remote mongo database. This will
|
|
dump it to your local filesystem in a binary format (`.bson`) that you can then
|
|
restore to another mongo instance.
|
|
|
|
Create a file like this called `mongdump-cmd` and replace the various
|
|
placeholder values (e.g. `<HOST>`) with valid values for your remote mongo
|
|
instance.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
mongodump --host '<HOST>:<PORT>' \
|
|
--ssl \
|
|
--username '<USER>' \
|
|
--password '<PASSWORD>' \
|
|
--authenticationDatabase 'admin' \
|
|
--out ./mongo-backups/<DATE>-dump
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create the backup directory:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ mkdir mongo-backups
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then execute the bash script:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ bash mongodump-cmd
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will dump everything on the remote instance into the
|
|
`mongo-backups/2020-06-20-dump/` directory. You can also include the `--db`
|
|
flag to dump a specific database.
|
|
|
|
This can later be used with `mongoresetore` to restore the data to the mongo
|
|
instance you specify.
