Forces mongod to flush all pending write operations to the disk and locks the entire mongod instance to prevent additional writes until the dump is complete.
Note that if Profiling is enabled, this will disable it and will not re-enable it after the dump is complete.
Creates a dump of the database that includes an oplog, to create a point-in-time snapshot of the state of a mongod instance.
If this option is used, you would not use the `lock` option.
This will only work against nodes that maintain a oplog. This includes all members of a replica set, as well as master nodes in master/slave replication deployments.
