How to backup Backup mongo db in meteorjs as mongodump is not working

Question

I am new in Meteorjs and i am using mongo db which comes with the meteor package. I have made one small meteor application using mongodb and now i want to take backup of the mongo db database. I have seen many web sites and still i am not able to backup my data base. Everyone explained the same thing that in mongo db folder use mongodump and mongostore but when i use mongodump and mongostore on my terminal then it displays something like 'mongodump' is not an internal or external source command. Can u please help me in finding out the solution.

I have found that the easiest way to backup your database (or move it between meteor installations for that matter) is to simple copy the files in .meteor\local\db

Then you don't have to worry about all that mongodb dump stuff. Simple.
