MongoDb: How to import dump data from .gz file?

I want to import dump data from my .gz file.

Location of file is home/Alex/Documents/Abc/dump.gz and the name of db is "Alex".

I have tried mongorestore --gzip --db "Alex" /home/Alex/Documents/Abc/dump.gz

But it shows error: 

 2018-10-31T12:54:58.359+0530   the --db and --collection args should 
 only be used when restoring from a BSON file. Other uses are 
 deprecated and will not exist in the future; use --nsInclude instead
 2018-10-31T12:54:58.359+0530   Failed: file 
 /home/Alex/Documents/Abc/dump.gz does not have .bson extension.

How can I import it?

Solution

  • Dump command:

    mongodump --host localhost:27017 --gzip --db Alex --out ./testSO

    Restore Command:

    mongorestore --host localhost:27017 --gzip --db Alex ./testSO/Alex

    Works perfectly!

    While using archive:

    Dump command:

    mongodump --host localhost:27017 --archive=dump.gz --gzip --db Alex

    Restore Command:

    mongorestore --host localhost:27017 --gzip --archive=dump.gz --db Alex

    Note:- While using archive you need to stick with the database name.

    Different database name or collection name is not supported. For more info.
