Backup your MongoDB database on a specific frequency using mongodump.
npm i @dotmind/node-mongo-dump --save
Declare the function in the js file that start your server
const nodeMongoDump = require('@dotmind/node-mongo-dump');
nodeMongoDump({
dbName: 'YOUR_DB_NAME'
});You can use the dumpDb function to dump the database once
const dumpDb = require('@dotmind/node-mongo-dump/lib/dumpDb');
dumpDb({
dbName: 'dbName',
host: 'localhost',
port: '27017',
uri: '',
nbSaved: 5,
outPath: './dumps/',
withStdout: false,
withStderr: false,
withClose: false,
});And you can use await for a sync usage. The dumpDb function will return the path where the file is saved.
const file = await dumpDb({
dbName: 'dbName',
host: 'localhost',
port: '27017',
uri: '',
nbSaved: 5,
outPath: './dumps/',
withStdout: false,
withStderr: false,
withClose: false,
});And then... That's it, you're ready to go 🚀
