The success/fail logs will be sent via SMTP and/or Slack if notifications are enabled.
The mongodump log is stored along with the backup data (gzip archive) in the storage
dir:

In order to restore from a local backup you have two options:
Browse mgob-host:8090/storage
to identify the backup you want to restore.
Login to your MongoDB server and download the archive using curl
and restore the backup with mongorestore
command line.
curl -o /tmp/mongo-test-1494056760.gz http://mgob-host:8090/storage/mongo-test/mongo-test-1494056760.gz
mongorestore --gzip --archive=/tmp/mongo-test-1494056760.gz --db test
You can also restore a backup from within mgob container.
Exec into mgob, identify the backup you want to restore and use mongorestore
to connect to your MongoDB server.
docker exec -it mgob sh
ls /storage/mongo-test
mongorestore --gzip --archive=/storage/mongo-test/mongo-test-1494056760.gz --host mongohost:27017 --db test
