mongorestore "E11000 duplicate key error collection"
-
During the restore of a MongoDB based database, you may receive the error message
E11000 duplicate key error collectionThis is because by default the
mongorestorecommand does not drop existing collections before attempting to recover them, which results in the above error message as the collections already existAs an example, the command of
sudo mongorestore -d sudonixdev /path/to/database/sudonix -u admin -p <password> --authenticationDatabase=adminWould need to become
sudo mongorestore --drop -d sudonixdev /path/to/database/sudonix -u admin -p <password> --authenticationDatabase=adminThe addition of
--dropallows the collections to be overwritten by the restore. -
