About mongodump
mongodump is part of the MongoDB Database Tools. It connects to a MongoDB deployment and writes the contents of a database to binary BSON files. You can keep these files as a backup or use them to move data to a new deployment.
It runs from the command line on Linux, macOS and Windows, so it fits into scripts and scheduled jobs. It suits developers and administrators who run their own MongoDB servers and want a plain file-based copy of their data.
