Program to auto backup mongodb using NodeJS.
Run npm i to install the dependencies.
In the .env file:
SCHEDULE_TIME='0 * * * *'
This is based on the npm package node-schedule. Read their documentation in here https://github.com/node-schedule/node-schedule.
KEEP_BACKUP_FILES=7
This means that the maximum number of backup files stored in the KEEP_BACKUP_FILES is 7. Change the number to store more or less, but please be cautious, large files will take a lot of disk space.
USE_TIMESTAMP=false
If this is set to true, in every backup files they will have timestamp suffix. This can be used to keep the backups if saved every hour or minute. Because the same backup file name will be overwriten. If your schedule is set every hour and USE_TIMESTAMP=false, this means that the backup file names will be the same within the same day, which causes the previous backup file will be overwriten.
First, build the program using npm run build, then run npm run start or npm start.
If you want to deploy the build folder only dist in your web hosting. Run this npm run deploy. This will build your app and also copied the package.json into the dist folder. Then in your hosting provider, run npm i and npm start on the dist folder.
