.sp
Users running on Mac OSX Sierra require the 3.2.10 or newer version
of  mongorestore\&.
.UNINDENT

.SH SYNOPSIS
.sp
The \fI\%mongorestore\fP program loads data from either a binary
database dump created by \fBmongodump\fP or the standard input
(starting in version 3.0.0) into a \fBmongod\fP or
\fBmongos\fP instance.
.sp
Run \fI\%mongorestore\fP from the system command line, not the \fBmongo\fP shell.
.sp
For an overview of \fI\%mongorestore\fP usage, see
/tutorial/backup\-and\-restore\-tools\&.
.SH BEHAVIOR
.SS Insert Only
.sp
\fI\%mongorestore\fP can create a new database or add data to an
existing database. However, \fI\%mongorestore\fP performs inserts
only and does not perform updates. That is, if restoring documents to
an existing database and collection and existing documents have the
same value \fB_id\fP field as the to\-be\-restored documents,
\fI\%mongorestore\fP will \fInot\fP overwrite those documents.

.SH EXAMPLES
.SS Restore a Collection
.sp
Consider the following example:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
mongorestore \-\-collection people \-\-db accounts dump/
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
Here, \fI\%mongorestore\fP reads the database dump in the \fBdump/\fP
sub\-directory of the current directory, and restores \fIonly\fP the
documents in the collection named \fBpeople\fP from the database named
\fBaccounts\fP\&. \fI\%mongorestore\fP restores data to the instance
running on the localhost interface on port \fB27017\fP\&.
.sp
New in version 3.4.

.sp
You may alternatively use \fI\%\-\-nsInclude\fP to specify the canonical name of the collection that you
wish to restore rather than \fI\%\-\-collection\fP\&. \fI\%\-\-nsInclude\fP
enables you to specify the namespace of one or more collections
that you wish to include in the restore operation. The following
example restores the \fBpeople\fP collection from the \fBaccounts\fP
database in the \fBdump/\fP sub\-directory of the current directory:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
mongorestore \-\-nsInclude accounts.people dump/
.ft P

.SS Restore Collections Using Wild Cards
.sp
New in version 3.4.

.sp
\fI\%\-\-nsInclude\fP and
\fI\%\-\-nsExclude\fP support specifying the
namespaces you wish to include or exclude from a
restore operation using asterisks as \fIwild cards\fP\&.
.sp
The following example restores the documents in the \fBdump/\fP
sub\-directory of the current directory that match the specified
namespace pattern. The \fI\%\-\-nsInclude\fP
statement specifies to only restore documents in the \fBtransactions\fP
database while \fI\%\-\-nsExclude\fP
instructs \fI\%mongorestore\fP to exclude collections whose
names end with \fB_dev\fP\&. \fI\%mongorestore\fP restores data to
the \fBmongod\fP instance running on the localhost interface
on port \fB27017\fP\&.
.INDENT 0.0

.SS Change Collections’ Namespaces during Restore
.sp
New in version 3.4.

.sp
MongoDB 3.4 added the \fI\%\-\-nsFrom\fP and
\fI\%\-\-nsTo\fP options, which enable you to
change the namespace of a collection that you are restoring.
\fI\%\-\-nsFrom\fP and \fI\%\-\-nsTo\fP support using asterisks as wild cards \fIand\fP
support using dollar signs to delimit “wild card” variables to use in
the replacement.
.sp
Consider a database \fBdata\fP that you have exported to a \fBdump/\fP
directory using \fBmongodump\fP\&. The \fBdata\fP database
contains the following collections:
.INDENT 0.0
.IP \(bu 2
\fBsales_customer1\fP
.IP \(bu 2
\fBsales_customer2\fP
.IP \(bu 2
\fBsales_customer3\fP
.IP \(bu 2
\fBusers_customer1\fP
.IP \(bu 2
\fBusers_customer2\fP
.IP \(bu 2
\fBusers_customer3\fP
.UNINDENT
.sp
Using \fI\%\-\-nsFrom\fP and \fI\%\-\-nsTo\fP, you can restore the data into different
namespaces. The following operation
.INDENT 0.0
.IP \(bu 2
restores the \fBsales_<customerName>\fP collections in the \fBdata\fP
database to \fBsales\fP collections in the \fB<customerName>\fP database,
and
.IP \(bu 2
restores the \fBusers_<customerName>\fP collections to \fBusers\fP
collections in the \fB<customerName>\fP database.

.SS Restore with Access Control

In the following example, \fI\%mongorestore\fP restores a

database running on port \fB37017\fP on the host
\fBmongodb1.example.net\fP\&. The \fI\%mongorestore\fP command
authenticates to the MongoDB instance using the username \fBuser\fP and
the password \fBpass\fP, as follows:

.sp
To restore from a dump directory that contains compressed files, run
