Usage:
  mongorestore <options> <connection-string> <directory or file to restore>

Restore backups generated with mongodump to a running server.

Specify a database with -d to restore a single database from the target directory,
or use -d and -c to restore a single collection from a single .bson file.

Connection strings must begin with mongodb:// or mongodb+srv://.

See http://docs.mongodb.com/database-tools/mongorestore/ for more information.
