MongoDB

There are multiple methods to migrate your data into an Atlas Cluster, and the best method for import depends on your source cluster configuration.

If you are migrating a live replica set, we recommend <code>LiveMigrate</code> 

If you are migrating data from a CSV, we recommend <code>mongoimport</code> 

If you are migrating data from a BSON backup file, we recommend <code>mongorestore</code> 

If you are migrating data from a sharded cluster, we recommend using <code>mongodump</code>  (if some downtime is acceptable).

To get sample commands for any of these migration options, check your Atlas cluster's Command Line Tools. These can be found by clicking the [...] button when viewing your cluster.<br><br>READ MORE: Official documentation on migration options and proper process for each of the above is <a href="https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/import/#import-strategies-for-common-cluster-configurations" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>. <br>
