mongodbHow to export an entire MongoDB database?


To export an entire MongoDB database, you can use the mongodump command. This command will create a binary export of the contents of the database.

Example

mongodump --db mydb

This will create a dump directory containing the exported data.

The mongodump command has several options that can be used to customize the export. These include:

  • --db: Specify the database to export
  • --collection: Specify the collection to export
  • --out: Specify the output directory
  • --query: Specify a query to filter the documents to export

For more information, see the MongoDB documentation.
