Neo4j-admin backup -from=$PRODUCTION -backup-dir=/backup There’s a lot of complicated stuff going on in in the docker-entrypoint.sh file that I don’t really want to be replicating and maintaining, so instead we can just create a new shell file which performs the backup and restore before calling the original docker-entrypoint.sh file. We can do this by replacing the the ENTRYPOINT with one of our own. In this case, we want to run the backup on the production server and restore it before the neo4j server starts. The neo4j images all automatically start up the neo4j instance. The FROM keyword allows you to choose an image to build on top of, in this case we want the latest version of Neo4j Enterprise. These can also be published to the Docker Hub but I won’t cover that here. One of the nice things about Docker is that you can build or extend Dockerfiles to create an image. You can disable this by adding -check-consistency=false and check the consitency at a later time. database=neo4j # The name of the database to backupĪ consistency check runs as part of the backup to make sure that the backup files are OK, but this can take a while on a large database. backup-dir=/path/to/backups \ # directory to store the backup in from=neo4jurl:7687 \ # hostname or ip and port for neo4j server Because we’ll be taking a backup from a local machine, we’ll need to enable remote backups by setting _address to 0.0.0.0:6362. The backup is enabled by default, but by default it will only listen on the backup port on requests from localhost. If you run a backup on a directory that already has a backup in there, it will take the difference and append it to the store files rather than starting from transaction id 0. For larger databases, the export command allows you to do an incremental backup.

The dump command creates an archive that can be easily shared and is great for smaller databases. There are two types of exports - dump and export. The neo4j-admin tool located in the $NEO4J_HOME/bin folder allows you to run a number of administation commands including backup, restore and an import tool for imports of over 1M rows.
