Would you please help me check it

You have to exit mongo shell.

mongodump is a command that you issue at your terminal prompt.

Hi @Trung_Tran_The, welcome to the community.
Please remove the whitespace between -- & uri.
It should be:

mongodump --uri “<–Paste-your-connection-string-here–>”

I hope it helps.

In case you have any doubts, please feel free to reach out to us.

Thanks and Regards.

Thanks Steeve but can you give more instructions?

[Trung_Tran_The (Karem)]

I tried but it still doesn’t work.

[Ramachandra_Tummala]

Please exit from mongo shell and run the command from os prompt (#,$ etc)

[steevej (Steeve Juneau)]

You did exactly the same thing as in your first screenshot.

You entered the command while in the mongosh.

You have to exit before entering the command.

Thanks Ranmachandra and Steeve so much.
I got your point, i dit it.

Ps: I have to install “Database Tools MSI installer” and run it with Command Prompt on windows 10
