collection from the database before restoring from
backups.

.. _backup-restore-filter:

Restore a Subset of data from a Binary Database Dump
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

:program:`mongorestore` also includes the ability to a filter
to all input before inserting it into the new database. Consider the
following example:

.. code-block:: sh

mongorestore --filter '{"field": 1}'

Here, :program:`mongorestore` only adds documents to the database from
the dump located in the :file:`dump/` folder *if* the documents have a
field name ``field`` that holds a value of ``1``. Enclose the
filter in single quotes (e.g. ``'``) to prevent the filter from
interacting with your shell environment.
