cla db-dump - Database backup utility

cla db-dump creates a backup of the Clarive MongoDB database.

This command exports the database contents to a backup file that can be used for disaster recovery, migration, or archival purposes.

Usage¶

cla db-dump -c MYCONFIG [options]

-c, --config MYCONFIG - Specify the configuration file to use.
-o, --output <file> - Output file path for the database dump (default: clarive-dump-[timestamp].gz).
--compress - Compress the dump file using gzip compression.
--collection <name> - Dump only a specific collection.
--query <json> - Dump only documents matching the specified query.

Dump the entire database:

cla db-dump -c myconfig -o backup.gz --compress

Dump a specific collection:

cla db-dump -c myconfig --collection master_doc -o master_doc_backup.gz

Ensure sufficient disk space is available before running the dump.
The database remains accessible during the dump operation.
For large databases, consider using the --compress option to reduce file size.
Backup files should be stored securely and tested regularly for restore procedures.
