How to mirror local database to remote server (hraphenedb) for backup purposes ?

[Michael Hunger]

In general, Neo4j Enterprise has a backup tool that backs up to fully operable graph database directories.

You could shutdown, zip it up and upload it.

Or just set up a Neo4j cluster that uses the remote servers as replicas.

If you want to have continuous updates, then that would be more involved (reading tx log and sending deltas or the same with triggers).

It's def. a valuable request, but usually a "live connection" would also send, e.g. deletes so your remote instance would be in sync with your local state, which might not what you need for a backup.

The problem is target side hosted on graphenedb.com on free account, so I have only user access, and need user level mirroring, if there is now feature embedded into neo4j itself.

Maybe some trick with can be done in external script (in Python) to fast find databases diff via BOLT connections and then process changed elements ?

A diff via bolt would be a good idea. I currently don't know of such a tool.

You could install APOC and use any of the apoc.export.cypher functions to export yoru db.
