Are you trying to restore to Atlas? https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/restore/restore-cluster-m2-m5-snapshot/#restore-a-cluster-from-an-m2-m5-snapshot – Joe Apr 17 '20 at 07:23

Solved this.
Atlas compresses the snapshot into a .tar.gz file. This archive includes the snapshot and the mongod logs.
Once extracted, you can access the data files by starting a mongod instance on the host and pointing it at the extract directory using the --dbpath option.

3For anyone like me looking to read them locally, in the terminal, you want to run `mongod --dbpath ../path/to/folder` and then once it says something like `Listening on 127.0.0.1` you open a new tab in the terminal and type `mongo 127.0.0.1` – Bart S Dec 16 '20 at 18:13
