mongodump does not create backup files-CodePudding

I need to create a database backup of mongo database (all collections). I went to Command Line Tool page at

So I run this command in the terminal:

mongodump --uri mongodb srv://LineOf****@lineof****.fmyzn.mongodb.net/LineOf**** --out=testmongo

I enter password, it is accepted, then I do not get any files or errors. Terminal is just ready for the next command.

What do I do wrong? Thank you!

CodePudding user response：

Is your database name correct? It should show some output if it was actually dumping anything.

If the name was wrong it might not return anything.

2022-12-26T15:58:38.469-0700    [........................]  testo.test  0/1  (0.0%)
2022-12-26T15:58:41.055-0700    [########################]  testo.test  1/1  (100.0%)
2022-12-26T15:58:41.055-0700    done dumping testo.test (1 document)

For example, for a database named testo the command should look like:

mongodump --uri mongodb srv://user@*****.mongodb.net/testo --out=backup

Then, in that case you'd have a folder called backup with a testo folder inside it with the backup.
