Description
Document the process for doing a partial restore from MMS Backups.
Broadly the steps are:
- pull a full restore snapshot
- expand it into /data/db on a volume
- stand up new mongodb instance pointing it to the /data/db from previous step
- use mongodump to dump out the target collection
- on production system: rename old collection
- on produciton system: use mongorestore to restore the collection from the files you just dumped out of the snapshot.
