Re: How to use rsync with files on Mongodb?

[Markus Gattol]

I put some scp info at http://www.markus-gattol.name/ws/mongodb.html#physically_migrate_a_database Note however, as the info at this link states, in order to sync MongoDB sets you don't need external tools such as scp.

There are two systems client and server, when ever a file is modified on the client it has to be sync'd with the same file on mongodb. How can rsync algorithm can be used to achieve it?

Hi,

How is the file you are rsync'ing related to MongoDB?

For example .. are you referring to normal files in a directory, or files created/updated by your application?

One possibility would be to store the file in MongoDB via the GridFS feature:
