[c] c:Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.2\bin>mongodump connected to :127.0.0.1 Wen July 13 09:45:12.789 all dbs Wen July 13 09:45:12.793 DATABASE:test to dump\test Wen July 13 09:45:12.795 test.system.indexes to dump\test\system.indexes.bson Wen July 13 09:45:12.798 4 objects Wen July 13 09:45:12.800 test.my to dump\test\my.bson Wen July 13 09:45:12.803 0 objects Wen July 13 09:45:12.803 Metadata for test.my to dump\test\my.metadata.json Wen July 13 09:45:12.807 test.cool1 to dump\test\cool1.bson Wen July 13 09:45:12.810 1 objects Wen July 13 09:45:12.812 Metadata for test.cool1 to dump\test\cool1.metadata.json Wen July 13 09:45:12.814 test.mycol to dump\test\mycol.bson Wen July 13 09:45:12.817 2 objects Wen July 13 09:45:12.819 Metadata for test.mycol to dump\test\mycol.metadata.json [/c] Here in the above example, the mongodump command will dump each and every information into the dump directory.
