A little gem that simplifies backing up and copying your mongo dbs.
You can run as a script (eg for cron jobs, or in interactive mode):
It saves your database urls so any task is just a few clicks.
- backup a database locally
- backup a database and deploy it to Amazon S3
- copy a database from one server to another (whilst backing up locally the target db if it exists)
You need to have mongodump and mongorestore on your path.
gem install 'mongo-db-utils'
And then execute:
$ mongo-db-utils console
ruby >= 1.9.3
Once you launch the console it'll provide you with a set of options - pretty self explanatory.
When it does backups it stores them in ~/.mongo-db-utils/backups/. The naming convention is ${server}_${port}/${database_name}/${timestamp}/db
