Question

I have a web service application built using NodeJS. I am using mongodb as database.
The whole thing is in another system(A) in the network. Now I need to copy all the data to the mongodb database in my system(B).
Can anyone tell me the whole procedure in detail, like even from where I should execute the commands also. I am a beginner and have very little knowledge about mongodb.

Answer 1

You can use the db.cloneDatabase() command for that (docs).

1. Start the mongo shell from the command line on the destination server by running: mongo
2. Identify the name of the database to copy: use name
3. Copy the database from the source server: db.cloneDatabase("1.2.3.4")
