mongodump --oplog和每个数据库还原

Question

I need to be able to restore a single database , even a single collection from a backup. Since mongodump --oplog only applies to a full instance (Replica Set), I made the following procedure to filter only the entries from the db that I want to restore from the oplog.bson generated by the --oplog option. Could someone tell me if this is correct or if I'm missing something?

1. First I restore only the db (the db is test in this example) that I need

   mongorestore -d test dump/test

2. Restore into a random collection the oplog.bson file generated by the --oplog option

   mongorestore -d oplog -c oplog dump/oplog.bson

3. Dump from the restored oplog.bson collection only the documents that refer to the db that I'm restoring

   mongodump -d oplog -c oplog -q "{ns:/^test[.]/}" -o oplog

4. Restore with the --oplogReplay option using the last dump with filtered operations

   mongorestore --oplogReplay oplog/oplog

5. Finally I drop the temporary oplog collection.

   mongo --eval "db.getSisterDB('oplog').dropDatabase()"

Thanks in advance!

Basically, that's one way to do it.. Or you can do extra export after dumping specific database.

mongoexport -d local -c oplog.rs --query="{ns:/^test[.]/}" -o oplog.dump

2017-10-10T11:51:51.737+0300    local.oplog.rs  0
2017-10-10T11:51:51.938+0300    local.oplog.rs  3
2017-10-10T11:51:51.938+0300    exported 3 records

And you have now direct json dump file what you can read back
