⚙️ Issue
With our installation, our mongo db was 17GB on disk, and 52GB in the export format. Our data volume was expanded to 100GB previously, but there was no way the export would have fit into /tmp (only 50GB with 17GB in use).
✅ Fix
This fix just uses the data volume which (in our case) already had the space available, but there is probably a better way to create a large temporary volume for the backup process.
❓ Tests
This code got us to 4.x. 😃
