Iterative rsync seeding is not the first tool you should reach for—but when conventional resync methods fail, it can save hours (or days) of downtime. Used carefully and tested properly, it’s a powerful technique for large or bandwidth-constrained MongoDB deployments.
In this post, I’m sharing a simple but effective MongoDB full backup script designed for daily use. The script runs on a scheduled basis, creates a full backup every day, and automatically cleans up the previous day’s backup only if the new backup completes successfully.
Welcome to the MongoDB ToolKit, a comprehensive suite of Python scripts designed to help you monitor and troubleshoot your MongoDB clusters effectively. This toolkit includes various scripts tailored for different aspects of MongoDB management, from sharded and replicated cluster summaries to index
