Neo4J transaction journal and restore

[Newbie]

It might have been in some document already. I want to know if Neo4J
has transaction journal that I can use to restore the database?

Thanks,

[Michael Hunger]

Yes, as Neo4j is fully transactional it writes to a transaction log which will be applied to the store files at startup in case of a forced database shutdown (kill).

You can also configure it to keep all transaction logs (from the beginning of the store to recreate the whole store-file by applying them).
(store configuration: keep_logical_logs=true)

Some of this is documented here: http://docs.neo4j.org/chunked/milestone/performance-guide.html#_configuring_neo4j
