Assumption: you have setup mongoDb locally and want to migrate it to another computer.

1.Requirements:

  • mongodump
  • mongorestore

1.1.How to install?

1.2.Popular error.

  • sometime path is not set, so try this in cmd prompt: set path="C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\5.0\bin"

  • Note: please refactor the link according to your folder path.

2.Procedure:

Note: make sure you follow Step 1

2.1. Approach

we are going to create dump of mongodb from old pc(using mongodump), then transfer that dump to new pc, and import that dump using mongorestore.

2.2.Creation of dump in old pc(from where u want to replicate database)

  • cmd mongodump --host localhost:27017 --out ~/Desktop/mongo-migration
  • above cmd will create a dump in the mentioned path==> ~/Desktop/mongo-migration
  • just copy that folder and transfer it to new pc
  • Note: if you have created authenticated user then add these flag in above cmd and provide values --username [yourUserName] --password [yourPassword] --authenticationDatabase admin

2.3.Import of dump(created from old PC)

  • place that dump folder somewhere and execute below cmd
  • mongorestore C:/....../mongo-migration/ -u root --host 127.0.0.1:27017
  • done :)

When you create a connection with mongodb then database is created automatically if not exist already. You can use mongodump command to get all the database records and mongorestore to restore your database on your new machine.
