For backup we currently call mongodump with the --oplog option. This dumps all databases at the same moment in time, which gives us assurances about the consistency of each database. However, we want to exclude some databases. Unfortunately --oplog is not compatible with the --db option.
I'm looking for options here. I'm already considering, but am not satisfied with, the following: 1. (mongodump --db ...) Forgo the moment-in-time guarantee of --oplog (seems risky). 2. (mongodump --oplog ...) Manually remove the undesired databases from the dumped data (possible? risky!). 3. (mongodump --oplog ...) Skip the undesired databases when calling mongorestore (possible?). 4. (mongodump --oplog ...) Clear the undesired databases after calling mongorestore. The problem with 3 and 4 is that the backup archive will contain a bunch of erroneous data (the dumps of the databases we want to ignore). -eric -- Juju-dev mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/juju-dev
