Issue/Introduction

To migrate or restore a MongoDB database into an existing ELIAS 18 installation, you first export the database from the source server using mongodump, transfer the backup files to the target server, and then restore them using mongorestore. After the restore process completes, you can start ELIAS 18 and verify the MongoDB configuration in the settings.
