MongoDB backup and restore in production

Question

I have a MERN app running on AWS EC2.I guess terminating the instance will remove all databases. So is there any good practice in backing up my MongoDB collections locally or saving them in remote?. I want to have a backup of my production db. Is there any suggestion how can I regularly backup and save my Database?

Thank you for reading!
