I have created a dump in an archive file by the following command :
mongodump --archive=newcollection.1.archive --db neel --collection newcollection
While restoring with the mongorestore i am getting an error :the --db and --collection args should only be used when restoring from a BSON file.
I got the syntax from [https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/program/mongorestore/#examples][1] .
I fired the following command :
mongorestore --archive=newcollection.1.archive --db backup2.
use --nsFrom and --nsTo
see example :
mongodump -h foo.com:27017 --db source_db_name --gzip --archive | mongorestore --drop -vvvvvv -h bar.com:27017 --nsFrom source_db_name.collection_name --nsTo destination_db_name.* --gzip --archive
the format for nsFrom and nsTo is database_name.collection_name, and you can use wildcards ( like i did for destination_db_name.* ) for the same
mongorestore --archive=<filename>.archive
