Is it possible to specify a directory/folder for mongodump?

mongodb, mongodump

Solution

You don't need a script. From the docs:

`--out <path>, -o <path>`

Specifies the directory where mongodump will write BSON files for the dumped databases.

Example:

mongodump -o /mydir/

Lots of other options there, check it out.

Problem

I'd like to specify the directory to which mongodump dumps, via a switch on the mongodump command. Is this possible?
