library1.7.2jsnpmunverified

A fixed fork of mongodb-backup for MongoDB backup operations. Version 1.7.2 patches a breaking change where MongoDB deprecated the snapshot() method, replacing it with $snapshot query operator. Provides programmatic backup of MongoDB databases to disk or tar streams, supporting BSON or JSON output, collection filtering, query limiting, and parallel collection scanning. The original package is no longer maintained by its author, hex7c0, leading to this community fix. Release cadence is sporadic, with no recent updates beyond the snapshot fix. Key differentiator: it directly addresses the snapshot deprecation without requiring external mongodump.

CommonJS require; no ESM or default export available.
backup (CommonJS with destructuring)
✓ var backup = require('mongodb-backup');
✗ const { backup } = require('mongodb-backup');
The package exports a single function; destructuring will result in undefined.
backup (ESM attempt)
✓ const backup = require('mongodb-backup');
✗ import * as backup from 'mongodb-backup';
Package does not support ES modules; use require().

Shows how to perform a MongoDB backup using JSON format, specifying collections and a callback.

var backup = require('mongodb-backup'); backup({ uri: process.env.MONGO_URI || 'mongodb://localhost:27017/mydb', root: './backup', parser: 'json', collections: ['users', 'posts'], callback: function(err) { if (err) { console.error('Backup failed:', err); } else { console.log('Backup completed successfully'); } } });
