I am trying to duplicate a database called database_A in the same cluster.
The result should be a new database called database_B with the exact same data.
I am trying to follow the instructions here.
It explains how to do this locally:
mongodump --archive="mongodump-test-db" --db=test
mongorestore --archive="mongodump-test-db" --nsFrom='test.' --nsTo='examples.'
In order to achieve the same result in the cluster, it says:
Include additional options as necessary, such as to specify the uri or host, username, password and authentication database.
However, when I try to add the uri to achieve the first step:
mongodump --uri mongodb+srv://hihi:password@cluster0.fklgt.mongodb.net --archive="mongodump-test-db" --db=test_db
I get this error:
illegal argument combination: cannot specify --db and --uri
Any idea how to solve this?
You have to add db in URI- like connection uri/[db]
mongodb+srv://hihi:password@cluster0.fklgt.mongodb.net/test_db
mongodump --uri mongodb+srv://hihi:password@cluster0.fklgt.mongodb.net/test_db --archive="mongodump-test-db"

/database Optional. The name of the database to authenticate if the connection string includes authentication credentials in the form of username:password@. If /database is not specified and the connection string includes credentials, the driver will authenticate to the admin database. See also authSource.
