`mongorestore` to *dump*…?! You do realise that "dump" specifically means *from database into files*? – deceze Jun 23 '17 at 10:30
I dont know..I am new to this.Can you please suggest query to dump? – user7397787 Jun 23 '17 at 10:31
What exactly do *you* mean by "dump"? Database → file or file → database? – deceze Jun 23 '17 at 10:32

You are trying to run `mongorestore` from within the `mongo` shell. Exit the shell and run on the command line instead. And use `mongodump` to actually backup. – Neil Lunn Jun 23 '17 at 10:33
@Neil Lunn still its showing same error – user7397787 Jun 23 '17 at 10:43
Exit the shell. Read what I said and what the linked answer says. You are in the mongo shell and you need to get out of it first. – Neil Lunn Jun 23 '17 at 10:44
