mongorestore
mongorestore is a Windows application that allows users to restore data from various MongoDB sources. Similar to Robomongo, it is possible to migrate information from one database to another.

Users are able to choose any MongoDB database, Altas cluster or directory with BSON documents as a data source. Instruments for restoring values from a specific time point are provided as well. It is possible to arrange information in a custom order according to project requirements.
Instructions
