可以用mongodump來做MongoDB 的庫或表層級的備份，下面舉例說明:
備份my_mongodb資料庫[root@localhost bin]# ./mongodump -d my_mongodb
connected to: 127.0.0.1
DATABASE: my_mongodb to dump/my_mongodb
my_mongodb.system.indexes to dump/my_mongodb/system.indexes.bson
1 objects
my_mongodb.user to dump/my_mongodb/user.bson
2 objects
[root@localhost bin]# ll
總計 67648
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 7508756 2011-04-06 bsondump
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 04-10 23:54 dump
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2978016 2011-04-06 mongo
此時會在目前的目錄下建立一個 dump目錄，用於存放備份出來的檔案 也可以指定備份存放的目錄，
[root@localhost bin]# ./mongodump -d my_mongodb -o my_mongodb_dump
connected to: 127.0.0.1
DATABASE: my_mongodb to my_mongodb_dump/my_mongodb
my_mongodb.system.indexes
my_mongodb_dump/my_mongodb/system.indexes.bson
1 objects
my_mongodb.user to my_mongodb_dump/my_mongodb/user.bson
2 objects
[root@localhost bin]#
資料恢複
[root@localhost bin]# ./mongorestore -d my_mongodb my_mongodb_dump/*
connected to: 127.0.0.1
