To schedule MongoDB backups on a Windows Server, you can use the Task Scheduler and a backup script. Here's a step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Create a Backup Script
Open a text editor like Notepad.
Write a backup script using the mongodump command. Below is an example script:
@echo off
:: Set the current date in YYYY-MM-DD format
for /f "tokens=2 delims==" %%i in ('wmic os get localdatetime /value') do set datetime=%%i
set datestamp=%datetime:~0,4%-%datetime:~4,2%-%datetime:~6,2%
:: Set backup directory
set backupDir=C:\MongoDB_Backups\%datestamp%
:: Create backup directory
if not exist "%backupDir%" mkdir "%backupDir%"
:: Perform MongoDB dump
mongodump --host localhost --port 27017 --out "%backupDir%"
:: Optional: Remove old backups older than 7 days
forfiles /p "C:\MongoDB_Backups" /m * /d -7 /c "cmd /c if @isdir==TRUE rmdir /s /q @path"
echo Backup completed successfully!
Save the script as mongo_backup.bat in a directory, e.g., C:\Scripts.
Step 2: Test the Script
Open Command Prompt.
Navigate to the script's location:
cd C:\Scripts
Run the script:
mongo_backup.bat
Check the output in C:\MongoDB_Backups. Ensure a folder with the current date is created and contains your MongoDB backup files.
Step 3: Schedule the Backup Using Task Scheduler
Open Task Scheduler on your Windows Server.
In the Actions panel, click Create Task.
Fill in the details:
Name: Enter a name like MongoDB Daily Backup.
Description: Describe the task, e.g., "Daily backup of MongoDB databases."
Set the Trigger:
Go to the Triggers tab and click New.
Choose a schedule (e.g., Daily, Weekly, or Monthly).
Set the time and recurrence pattern. Click OK.
Set the Action:
Go to the Actions tab and click New.
Action: Select Start a program.
Program/script: Browse to mongo_backup.bat.
Click OK.
Set Conditions (Optional):
Go to the Conditions tab to configure any specific conditions, such as only running when the server is idle.
Set Settings:
Go to the Settings tab.
Check "Allow task to be run on demand".
Optionally, enable "Stop the task if it runs longer than" to prevent long-running tasks.
Click OK to save the task.
Step 4: Test the Scheduled Task
In Task Scheduler, right-click the task you created and select Run.
Verify that the task runs successfully and creates a backup in the specified directory.
Step 5: Monitor Backups
Periodically check the C:\MongoDB_Backups directory to ensure backups are being created as scheduled.
Review Task Scheduler logs if backups fail.
