AWS AMI Neo4j 备份

Question

I am running the official AMI provided by Neo4j on AWS.

I would like to backup the Database regularly to s3, but i am not really sure where to start.

Ideally if the AMI could have a scheduled task to auto backup to s3 that would be best, can i setup a Shell script something like this ? How do i ensure it stays installed and scheduled on the AMI machine?

Answer 1

I Took some time to understand and then edit the script that i linked to in the original post.

The main take away was that there is no way to backup the DB while it is online, so you need a script that takes it offline copies the contents of graph.db and then restarts the DB.
