    8.   During the BVQ-Installation, using default values, a "db" named "bvq" is created.

A restore of a mongodb has to be made, using a not existing db.
If you would like to use the db "bvq" again (code: mongorestore  --authenticationDatabase admin -u bvq -p P@ssw0rd --db bvq --gzip -j 8 C:\bvq),
you have to drop the existing(just installed) bvq db.

Connect to the mongo shell on the new VMC:\Users>mongo --authenticationDatabase admin -u bvq -p P@ssw0rd


show the db´s


> show dbs
admin 0.000GB
bvq 43.815GB
config 0.000GB
local 0.000GB
---------------------------------------------------------------------------


switch to the db, you would like to delete

> use bvq
switched to db bvq
---------------------------------------------------------------------------


delete db

> db.dropDatabase()
{ "ok" : 1 }
---------------------------------------------------------------------------


show the db´s

> show dbs
admin 0.000GB
config 0.000GB
local 0.000GB

    9.   Restore the DB

C:\bvq>mongorestore --authenticationDatabase admin -u bvq -p P@ssw0rd --db bvq -j 8 --gzip "C:\Temp\test-backup\bvq"
