I use a mongoexport > mongoexport -h [host]:[port] -d [database] -u [user] -p [password] -c [collection] -o [path, e.g. ~/tmp/mongoexport/export.json]
And a mongoimport > mongoimport -h [host]:[port] -d [database] -u [user] -p [password] -c [collection] --file [file, e.g. ~/tmp/mongoexport/export.json] Replace the square brackets...
