 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.
