Regular backups protect against data loss, corruption, and mistakes. Neo4j Enterprise provides two ways to back up a database with neo4j-admin:
| Tool | Database state | Use |
|---|---|---|
neo4j-admin database backup | Online — database running | Production backups with no downtime |
neo4j-admin database dump | Offline — database stopped | Snapshots when the database can be taken offline |
