      For MacOS and Windows that have case-insensitive filenames, mongodump will corrupt a BSON file when there is both an abc.MyColl and abc.mycoll namespace. It seems to write both into the same file on disk.

      Example

      mongodump --ssl --username myuser --password mypass --authenticationDatabase admin --db MYDB --out d:/Backups/MYDB_20200622_Backup.dmp

      Possible solutions

      1. Detect that it's dumping to a case-insensitive FS and use a different filename for the duplicate collection, e.g. mycoll.bson and mycoll-2.bson

      2. Detect the duplicate name and simply refuse to dump it, and output an error message.
