[ MongoDB 5 ] Backup & Restore MongoDB database

In this video, I will show you how to backup your Mongodb database using mongodump and restore it using mongorestore commands.
If you are using mongodb with authentication enabled, then make sure you attach the backup role for the user that will run the mongodump and restore role for the user that will run the mongorestore command.

It seems that for a query selector in mongodump every key has to be in double quotes now, basically a string following json syntax. So : '{"language": {"$eq": "Tamil"}}'
