Welcome to the MongoDB Developer Community Forums @Mohammed_Sahil !

mongomirror is a tool for migrating an existing replica set to a MongoDB Atlas replica set so it has some assumptions about the destination (for example, that this will be a replica set).

I recommend using mongomirror if your destination is an Altas cluster, but for migrating to (or from) a more general destination I suggest using MongoPush.

Hi @Mahammad_Fayiz,

Your question is about a variation of non-Atlas migration, so I suggest looking into MongoPush:

MongoPush’s developer, @ken.chen, has written some great blog posts and documentation which are linked from the MongoPush download on DockerHub. Definitely test your migration in a staging environment before production.

Note: this is not a commercially supported too and per the disclaimer in the Readme any usage is at your own risk.

Regards,
Stennie

@Stennie_X We have large database (more than 10TB) on azure replica set. We want it to move to another azure replica set, can we use mongomirror. If yes, how? We tried but its not working.
