Migrate Neo4j data to GrapheneDB

Question

So I'm ready to move my Neo4j database from my local machine to GrapheneDB for further development.

How can I move the data on my local machine to the GrapheneDB remote store?

Answer 1

I'm one of the founders at GrapheneDB .

Moving your data from your local machine to GrapheneDB is simple:

1. Stop your local instance: $ bin/neo4j stop
2. Put the contentes in a tarball or other type of compressed file (zip, gz): tar -cjf graph.tar.bz2 data/graph.db
3. Sign up or log in to GrapheneDB and create your database instance
4. Once the DB is created, navigate to the admin and use the restore feature to upload your compressed store files

Notes:

• Neo4j should be stopped before copying your store files into a compressed file
• You should restore into the same or a higher version on GrapheneDB, ie 2.0.X into 2.1.X or 2.1.6 into 2.1.6.

I hope this helps.
