Activity 11.01: Backup and Restore in MongoDB

Solution:

Perform the following steps to complete the activity:

1. Start with mongoexport. Remove the --db option, since you are providing it in the URI.

   mongoexport --uri=mongodb+srv://USERNAME:[e-mail]/sample_mflix --collection=theaters --out="theaters.csv" --type=csv --sort='{theaterId: 1}'

2. Add the fields option to the mongoexport command

   mongoexport --uri=mongodb+srv://USERNAME:[e-mail]/sample_mflix --fields=theaterId,location --collection=theaters --out="theaters.csv" --type=csv --sort='{theaterId: 1}'

3. Add the necessary CSV options to the import command, that is, type, ignoreBlanks, and headerline.

   mongoimport --uri=mongodb+srv://USERNAME:[e-mail]/imports --type=CSV --headerline -...
