Code Summary: Restore Tools

Review the following code, which demonstrates how to use the mongorestore tool.

The following command:

• Restores all of the databases running on the cluster at the URI "mongodb+srv://dbaTestAdmin@cluster1.xwgj1.mongodb.net/" from a file called backup.gz
• Unzips the file by using --gzip
• Drops any existing data before restoring the cluster with the data in the file

Here’s the code:

 mongorestore \
 -v \
 --gzip \
 --archive=backup.gz \
 --drop \
 "mongodb+srv://dbaTestAdmin@cluster1.xwgj1.mongodb.net"

The following options can be used with the mongorestore command. Check out the MongoDB documentation for more information.
