How to restore archive mongoDB database

Question

I have to restore the MongoDB archive tar file (when I extract it shows .wt files inside the tar folder)

tar:      restore-63bbdc996664dc2524cce24d.tar

after extract all files like:    collection-0--423807093138670367.wt

I tried

I also tried

mongorestore --host localhost --port 27017 --db restoredTest C:\Users\rustam\restore-634235

I have all collections in .wt Extention, I got the tar file by the dump on the live MongoDB server — Rustam Ansari, Jan 10 '23 at 04:53
when i extract tar file, i got lots of .wt extention file of all collections — Rustam Ansari, Jan 10 '23 at 04:53
When you take a copy of .wt files, then you must copy the files to new location (not via mongorestore). Hopefully the MongoDB was stopped or at least you run `db.fsyncLock()` while copy was taken. Otherwise the .wt files could be corrupt. Note, there are a few more files - you need to copy all of them. — Wernfried Domscheit, Jan 10 '23 at 12:28

After spending a lot of time on it finally I got the solution

mongod --port your_port --dbpath your_extracted_tar_folder

note: port is optional, it will run 27027 default port
