Run MongoDump / MongoRestore in C#

Question

Is there an easy way to run these commands using the C# driver? The only documentation I found involves running the EXE as a process etc, which seems a bit heavy.

The only related question I found was unanswered... am I missing something fundamental here?

Answer 1

mongodump and mongorestore are applications, not MongoDB commands which is why you would have to run the executable.
