|
Our documentation on in-built roles seems to imply that the backup role is sufficient to allow backups using mongodump:
However, if you actually try to use mongodump with a user that only has backup, then it may error out on the system.profile collection, if this exists. This caveat is mentioned on the mongodump documentation page (http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/program/mongodump/), however, I believe it should also be made clear on the in-built roles page as well. |
