MongoBongo

This application will backup specified mongo collections data (currently not the indexes) from one server to another.

You should schedule this daily either via a cron job (Linux) or a task scheduler (Windows). The application will create a backup history on the targer mongo server for each collection you specified.

Example output on the destination server, if you was to have a collection "mycollection" backed up from the source mongo server.

Setup

Configure your source and destination servers in the config.json file.

{
   "sourceDB" : "mongodb://localhost",
   "targetDB" : "mongodb://localhost"
}

Specific source database name and collection names in backup.js

var sourceDatabase = "yourdbname";

var collections = [
                   "collectionnamehere"
];
