I’m new to MongoDB and I have hard time to backup my local DB and restore it on my server. I found the link on Mongo’s website:
https://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Import+Export+Tools but I still have problems with the restore.
When I do my backup I call
mongodump –db Gen
Then I see that all the collections are dump in /bin/dump/Gen folder
I copy-paste from local to the server in the same folder the call
mongorestore –db Gen –drop –dbpath dump/Gen
But I get the following : Error : root directory must be a dump of a single database when specifying a db name with –db
What am I doing wrong in MongoDB?
Thanks for the help!
Ok I find out what I’m doing wrong :
I was doing
mongorestore –db Gen –drop –dbpath dump/Gen
But without the –dbpath it works just fine!
mongorestore –db Gen –drop dump/Gen
