MongoDB Atlas Backup

The human way to mongodump and mongorestore your MongoDB Atlas cluster

Install

npm install --save mongodb-atlas-backup

Setup & Use

import MongoBackup from 'mongodb-atlas-backup'

// Create an instance of the database connection
const backup = new MongoBackup({
    user: 'userWithMightyAccess',
    password: '<VERY SECRET PASSWORD>',
    replicaSet: 'Cluster0-shard-0',
    nodes: [
        'cluster0-shard-00-00-cbei2.mongodb.net:27017',
        'cluster0-shard-00-01-cbei2.mongodb.net:27017',
        'cluster0-shard-00-02-cbei2.mongodb.net:27017'
    ]
})

// Dump your cluster
backup.dump()

// Restore data to your cluster
backup.restore()

Possible improvements

I made this out of basic needs for one of my projects. Feel free to send pull requests if you came up with some improvement though. These are some of the ideas that could be implemented:

• add support for dumping/restoring specific database (just need to add a pair of command line arguments)
• extract connection specs from existing Mongo/ose connection
• add support for non-Unix OS (aka Windows)
