Mongorestore 3.2.x to 4.x?

[mntbighker (Mark M)]

Is this safe going from 3.2 to version 4 with the --drop option? When I did my migration I did not use --drop, and it caused a few issues. I’m wondering if using --drop across versions would have caused more.

mkdir /var/tmp/backup
mongodump --db graylog --out /var/tmp/backup/
tar czvf /var/tmp/graylog_backup.tgz /var/tmp/backup/graylog

copy backup to local

cd /var/tmp

tar xzvf graylog_backup.tgz

mongorestore -d graylog --drop ./graylog

Are you talking about Mongo 3.2 → 4.0 or Graylog 3.2 → 4.0?
