I am in the process of planning for a migration.
I have about 10TB of data in my Transaction database which I want to migrate to an empty database on a new server.
I know a backup and restore would take a very long time. I also want to minimise downtime as much as possible.
Is there any way this can be done with minimal downtime?
Hello @Remaketse_Maphisa
in case you are targeting on MongoDB Atlas the Life Migration might be an option to reduce the downtime to a minimum.
The Life Migration runs monogmirror in background, plus a lot of extras which makes the migration super easy. Mongomirror may pay off when you are not focussing on Atlas.
Mongopush an unofficial tool might be interesting. I just checked the side, the docker image is not found as of now, hope this is only temporary the tool is great to have at hand…

Michael
You can use Robocopy to migrate your data from one server to another and FYI Robocopy is a CLI-based tool. also, there are many alternatives to Robocopy that are GUI-based like Goodsync, Gs Richcopy 360, and SyncThing.
