MongoDB Tools

This Repo includes some tools to make the work easer with MongoDB. Whether you're safeguarding your data with backups or restoring from previous backups, this repository should provide a versatile set of tools to simplify your workflow.

Key Features:

• Backup Utility: Efficiently create backups of MongoDB databases with just a simple command. Protect your valuable data and ensure its availability in case of unforeseen circumstances.

• Restore Tool (Planned): Seamlessly restore databases from previously created backups. Quickly recover from data loss or corruption incidents with minimal downtime.

Create a Backup

To Create a backup you only need to build the javascript and run the cli.

1. npm install to install all required packages
2. npm run build creates the javascript code
3. npm run db-backup starts the backup process.

By default the CLI trys to read the configuration from the json file in config/db.config.json

• The json schema

{
  "connectionString": "mongodb+srv://<myDatabaseUser>:<D1fficultP%40ssw0rd>@cluster0.example.mongodb.net/<database>?retryWrites=true&w=majority",
  "zip": true
}

• zip -> Either create a zip or leave it in the temp dir
• connectionString Your connection string to the database you want to backup

The Backup will be safed in a .zip in backup when zip is true. Or the json will be safed in temp if zip is false

Bugs

⚠️ I know there a some bugs in the Database Backup but these tools are in an early Development!

TODOS

• Rework the CLI file and create a better command handler
• Detailed Backup Informations (path, filename, size, collectionCount, time used (currently not done be the project)
