When backing up an instance of MongoDB, the mongodump command can be used with a variety of arguments to produce the desired output.
mongodump --host=mongodb.example.net --port=27017
The attached PowerShell script provides a complete process of managing MongoDB backups. Simply modify file paths as needed and set retention days if the script will be used to manage archives of backup files.
NOTE: The backup script can be automated by adding a 'Run PowerShell' step to a desired schedule in Identity Panel. The script attribute in the step can include the PowerShell script content or the file path of the script.
NOTE: The mongorestore command is also included at the bottom of the script.
The --dryRun
parameter runs mongorestore without actually importing any data, returning the mongorestore summary information. Use with --verbose
to produce more detailed summary information. Remove this parameter after executing mongorestore and reviewing the summary information to insure the desired result will be achieved.
