Review how to backup a database with a built-in tool in MongoDB: How To Backup With MongoDump. As you can see, we learn how backup a database.

As a note, just because we backup a database does not mean that it will restore at a later time. For those of you who are familiar with SQL Server, you know that corruption can occur which makes backups invalid. This occurs with MongoDB too.
