eMongo Database Back Up

Karl_Griffiths

Hi,

I'm running an emongodump on my Alteryx server prior to using the back up to migrate to a new server (2008 to Windows 10).
It's been running for 17 hours now, should I be worried? Do we know how long this should typically take?

I've been running automated back ups for a few years but since I had it scheduled to run over the weekend  and I've never needed to restore my instance before I'd never paid much attention to the process.

Thanks!

Hi @Karl_Griffiths 

I hope you are keeping well. 

There is an issue on Windows Server 2008 R2 where the Command Window does not display a record of completion of the emongodump. The emongodump was more than likely successful but the Command Window still looks like it is running. 

In the location where you are dumping your Mongo data too, there will be a log file in there called mongoDump.log.  This log file will show if the dump was successful. 

Thanks, 

Conor
