MongoDB Remote Backup and Restore

I hope you can help me. It is a question that was asked before, but I have tried all solutions, and simply cannot get it right.

I have spend quite some time researching before posting this question. I have looked at the official MongoDB documents and many other blogs.

How can I make a DB backup/dump remotely, as well as restore that dumb locally?

This is what I have thus far:

Running this from a new CMD prompt shell:

C:\Users\Admin>mongodump --host 10.13.9.210 -d C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.0\bin --port 29039 --out /backup/mongodump-2015-11-13

I get this error:

2015-11-13T10:26:41.371+0200    error parsing command line options: expected argument for flag `/o, /out', but got option `/backup/mongodump-2015-11-13'
2015-11-13T10:26:41.371+0200    try 'mongodump --help' for more information

Secondly; how will I be able to restore this backup locally?

Thank you in advance!

You need to add a dot at the start of the out path. "./backup/mongodump-2015-11-13" instead of "/backup/mongodump-2015-11-13"
