How to bulk import/export data in MongoDB Atlas

Before Starting MongoDB Atlas import/Export steps, first whitelist your IP address from where you are trying to access.

In MongoDB, we use “mongodump” for exporting the existing database as a backup and we use “mongorestore” form importing the backup data back to mongo.

To Export, you can use this below-mentioned command syntax

//Mongo Syntax

mongodump --out </path> --db <dbName> --host <hostname:portNo> --authenticationDatabase admin --ssl --username <Remote Db User> --password<Remote Db Password>

Example:

mongodump --out ~/Desktop/mongoData/ --db newdata --host cluster0-shard-01-02.xyz.mongodb.net:27017  --authenticationDatabase admin --ssl --username abc --password xyz
