Backup MongoDB Database

To backup MongoDB database,

  1. Issue the host shell command below:

    docker exec -it $(docker ps -q -f name=mongo) /bin/sh -c "exec mongodump -u _BACKUP_USER_ -p _BACKUP_PASS_ -d _DB1_ -–archive" > /some/path/on/your/host/_DB1_.archive

  • Replace _DB1_ in this command with the value you selected. This will generate the (binary) backup file _DB1_.archive on your host which must be backed up elsewhere.

  • Schedule regular backups by wrapping the command(s) above into a script that can be invoked by the Docker host OS scheduler.
