MongoDB/CRITs database move

Moving the database involved the following commands.  Database is called crits

Create a temporary folder using mkdir -p ~/tmp/critsdump

Dump the existing database using mongodump -d crits -o ~/tmp/critsdump

Next to transfer files, I used WinSCP

Transfer the critsdump using WinSCP to the new server

On the NEW machine …

Restore the MongoDB database using mongorestore -d crits tmp/critsdump/crits

After schema upgrade, need to run :  python /data/crits/manage.py upgrade -as
