TypeError: mime.lookup is not a function error

I get this error after running mongodb_s3_backup -n config.sample.json. Do you know what can cause this?

/usr/lib/node_modules/mongodb_s3_backup/index.js:262
        throw(err);
        ^

I've encounter this issue too, seems the problem is from knox, which is the s3 library used by this library.

Quick fix is replacing the package.json and redirect to the temporary fix link:

I've forked this repo to fix this issue, remove a deprecated warning, fix logging and add support for: replica sets, SSL, and authenticationDatabase options. Feel free to use it if you like: https://github.com/dkoo761/node-mongodb-s3-backup.

NOTE: My fork is not published to NPM so you'll need to download and install it (which is easy and I've added instructions in the README).
