How to migrate chat database? Will there be issues?

Hi all,

just to inform that this can be closed.

Used rocketchactl backup to dump database and restored it in new DigitalOcean droplet (Ubuntu 18) with manually installed Rocketchat.

mongorestore --host localhost:27017 --db rocketchat --drop --noIndexRestore --archive --gzip < dump_1588538963.gz

Got this in syslog, but after rocketchat service restart, I don’t see any problems or issues in work.
