Backups and Restore

  • Create backup — CLI: Database → Handle Backups → Create Backup (or mongodump against the running Mongo). Backups go to the backups/ directory.
  • Restore into an environment — Restore Backup picks a backup and restores into the selected stack's Mongo.
  • Restore into TEST_PROD — Restore into testing stack restores into testing_hackportal-mongo-prod. The CLI detects the running backend (prod or blue/green) and runs the password migration and optional seed there. Works with both legacy and blue-green TEST_PROD.

Always ensure the target stack is up before restoring; the CLI will prompt you to start it if the Mongo container isn't running.
