MongoTools

1) Cron Feature

Executes the backup function based on the cronJob to automate the process of creating backups of a database. Backups are stored in a .tar.gz archive.

2) CLI

Possibility of manually creating a backup or restoring a database from a .tar.gz archive created with the cronjob function or a manual backup

3) Config

It is possible to create a JSON Config, which could be helpful if you often have to create manual backups. However, it is actually made for the cron mode to replace the ENVIRONMENT variables. If forceCli is set to true, you will be asked whether you want to make a restore or a backup and then the respective options are read from the config.

Note

The cron expression must be 6 characters long like the Spring Cron expressions

{
  "cronJobExpression": String,
  "connectionString": String,
  "forceCli": Boolean,
  "targzPath": String
}

connectionString example:

mongodb://<db_user_name>:<db_user_pwd>@<ip>:<port>/<db_name>?retryWrites=true&w=majority

cronJobExpression example:

0 * * * * * 

Would create a backup every minute
