How to copy a database from one installation type to another

[zekthe...@gmail.com]

I setup a fairly large board using the kanbanik-application and kanbanik-runtime setup... so I have a couple kanbanikdb.0 type of database files.   I was wondering how I would import those into a standard mongo database install that I have running on a slackware server.   Apparently it's not just a matter of copying those files to the /data/db directory.

You can do it using:
mongodump --out /tmp/backup
copy tha backup over to e.g tmp
on other machine:
mongorestore /tmp/backup

both mongodump and mongorestore are part of the runtime.

good luck,
Tomas

Worked great!  Thanks!

For future reference and for those looking to do a similar thing:

On the slackware box I simply had to add the mongo-tools package to get mongorestore and on the kanbanik-runtime box mongodump was located in the kanbanik-runtime/bin directory
