Export Entire MongoDB Database Easily
To export the entire MongoDB database, you can utilize the mongodump command.
- Open the command line terminal or command prompt.
- Navigate to the bin folder in the installation directory of MongoDB.
- Execute the following command.
- Backup the specified database to the specified export location.
- Please replace
with the name of the database you want to export, and with the path to the folder where you want to export. - For instance, to export a database named mydatabase and save the export file in the /data/backups folder, the command would be as follows:
- Backing up mydatabase to /data/backups using mongodump.
- After running the command, MongoDB will export the entire database and save it in the specified folder.
Please note that the exported file will be organized according to the data structure of MongoDB, and will include all collections and documents in the database. If you want to export a specific collection or specify a query result, you can use the –collection and –query options.
