MongoDbUtils

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

bundle exec rspec spec

#cucumber can't handle interactive CLIs so need to wait on this.
#bundle exec cucumber features

#run console
bundle exec bin/mongo-db-utils console path_to/config.yml (optional - it defaults to ~/.mongo-db-utils/config.yml)

#install the gem locally
rake build
gem install pkg/mongo-db-utils.gem
