I'm new to MongoDB and I have hard time to backup my local DB and restore it on my server. I found the link on Mongo's website : http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Import+Export+Tools but I still have problems with the restore.
When I do my backup I call
mongodump --db Gen
Then I see that all the collections are dump in /bin/dump/Gen folder
I copy-paste from local to the server in the same folder the call
mongorestore --db Gen --drop --dbpath dump/Gen
But I get the following :
Error : root directory must be a dump of a single database when specifying a db name with --db
