MongoDB Backup Exclude Collection: How to?

by | Apr 19, 2023

  Let us take a closer look at how to setup mongodb backup exclude collection with the support of our Server management support services at Bobcares.

What is the MongoDB backup exclude collection?

mongodb backup exclude collection

MongoDB is a document database that stores information in groupings of documents. It is critical to back up the MongoDB database for disaster recovery, replication, and migration.

However, we may not always wish to backup all collections in the database. The ” backup exclude collection” function comes in helpful here.

We can exclude specific collections from your backup process using the backup exclude collection” option. This can be handy if we have big collections and wish to save time and space by not backing them up.

How to exclude a collection from MongoDB?

When using the mongodump command, we may use the –excludeCollection option to exclude a collection from a MongoDB backup. Here’s an example:

In this case, the mongodump command will backup all collections except the mycollection collection in the mydatabase database. We can also exclude several collections by using commas to separate them as shown below:

The mongodump command will exclude both my collection 1 and my collection 2 from the backup in this case.

It is vital to note that omitted collections will not be backed up, therefore only exclude collections that we do not require. Also, bear in mind that cutting down the collections may have an impact on data stable nature and recovery choices, so use caution.
