Description

Expected Behaviour

Hey! Recently, I encountered an abnormal shutdown of the server, which caused the mongodb data to be corrupted and caused sharelatex to fail to start normally.

Context

I need to know if how can I back up the data in sharelatex and restore it to a specified version? Only mongodb's data needs to be backed up or others? I really need a answer.

Research direction

The issue names MongoDB data and ShareLaTeX but does not mention any files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the toolkit's existing backup and restore documentation, then define the required coverage for MongoDB and other data; done means a documented procedure answers how to back up and restore to a specified version.
