mongodb dump and restore

#with docker
docker run -it -v "$PWD"/mongo_dump:/data/dump --rm mongo:3.0.5 sh -c 'exec mongodump --out /data/dump --host=1.2.3.4 --db the_database' 
docker run -it -v "$PWD"/mongo_dump:/data/dump --rm mongo:3.0.5 sh -c 'exec mongorestore --host=1.2.3.4 --db the_database /data/dump/the_database --drop'

#dump
sudo mongodump

#restore (droping previous data)
sudo mongorestore

#options
#--host mongodb1.example.net --port 3017 --username user --password pass --out /opt/backup/mongodump-2013-10-24

You may also consider using the mongorestore --objcheck option to check the integrity of objects while inserting them into the database, or you may consider the mongorestore --drop option to drop each collection from the database before restoring from backups.
