I am looking for common backup command that can be used in both windows and Linux.

Hi Harish,

The mongorestore and mongodump utilities are supported for the same platforms as the MongoDB server (which includes Windows, Linux, macOS, and others). The dump format is cross-platform, so you can generally backup from Linux and restore in Windows (or vice-versa). One possible caveat is that Windows & Linux currently have different database naming restrictions, but the unsupported characters are straightforward to avoid.

For general usage, see Back Up and Restore with MongoDB Tools.

Regards,

Stennie
