@Madchatthew still a great catch.
MongoDB backup script
-
For a while now, I’ve been backing up MongoDB using a basic (and extremely simple) shell script. However, this did not allow for multiple backup sets, retention, purging of unwanted data etc., so I needed something a little more robust.
Deciding not to reinvent the wheel, I searched around for an existing script, and found this
https://gist.github.com/mrichie/3903260#file-automongobackup-sh
i’ve set this up on another production server I use at work, and it’s brilliant. It does exactly what it says on the tin
Would probably be very useful for others in the same boat.EDIT - seems someone else forked this and made several changes / revisions
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/micahwedemeyer/automongobackup/master/src/automongobackup.sh -

Seems there are others too. I’ll list these here.

After playing with the original code in the first post, I’ve modified it a little to suit my needs - posting it here in it’s full glory in case it’s of use for anyone else. Obviously, you’ll need to change the important parts
