Mongorestore of a db causing me trouble

Question

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

Answer 1

This is what ended up working for me (mydb is the name of my database):

mongorestore --drop -db mydb mydbbackup/mydb/

After my mongodump:

mongodump -d mydb -o mydbbackup
