Backing up MongoDB mup deploy

Question

I have successfully deployed my meteor application using mup deploy. As stated in documentation to access database we need to run this command:

docker exec -it mongodb mongo <appName>

How can I use mongodump command with this setup? I have tried running

docker exec -it mongodb mongodump --db appName --archive=baza.gz --gzip

Command runs successfully, but I can not find baza.gz archive

Answer 1

As I found dump gets saved in docker container. To access backup from local filesystem we need to copy it from docker container.

To dump:

docker exec -it mongodb mongodump --db appName --archive=/root/baza.gz --gzip

To copy from docker container to local filesystem:

docker cp mongodb:/root/backup.gz /home/local_user
