mongodb_s3_backup

Node MongoDB / S3 Backup

This is a package that makes backing up your mongo databases to S3 simple. The binary file is a node cronjob that runs at midnight every day and backs up the database specified in the config file.

Installation

npm install mongodb_s3_backup -g

Configuration

To configure the backup, you need to pass the binary a JSON configuration file. There is a sample config.json file supplied in the package. The file should have the following format:

{
  "mongodb": {
    "host": "localhost",
    "port": 27017,
    "username": false,
    "password": false,
    "db": "database_to_backup"
  },
  "s3": {
    "key": "your_s3_key",
    "secret": "your_s3_bucket",
    "bucket": "s3_bucket_to_upload_to"
  }
}

Running

mongodb_s3_backup <path to config file>
