Export of a MongoDB Database

Export of a MongoDB Database

𝗟𝗮𝘆𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

In the previous demo, we successfully completed a Stepdown process for our Node.
In this part, we will learn how to export a Database.

Make sure to switch to the Database layout to see your created Databases.

You need to navigate to the Inventory area in the right part of the Layout section.
In the Inventory area, click the Export/Import menu.
Right now, we don't see any exports available, so let's create one.

Under Export/Import you will see a text Drag any Node to start a dump.

Drag the Primary node icon to export all Databases.

Drag a single Database icon to export one Database only.
A new window will appear.

There are two options available: Export now and Scheduled export.
Export now will create an instant export of your Database.
Make sure you have sufficient space available to save your export.
By default it will be stored for 2 days, but you can change it later in configurations.

Scheduled export can be configured for day or week with a chosen time.
Compress option let you save your storage space.
Including data option let you include or exclude the actual data during the restore process later.

Click Next to proceed to the system verification window.

Click Submit to complete your export process.

Your installation path will look like this:
Inventory area → Export/Import → Drag Node or Drag single Database → Export now or Scheduled Export → click Next → click Submit
