Apply differential backup on full backup restore

Hi Team,

I have a 3-node cluster and would like to apply the differential backup on top of full backup restore.
Any one provide any suggestions on this? Thanks

@harish.chepuri

any further detail regarding Neo4j version? Is this 4.4.x? 5.x? or something else?
And / or what type of install methodology? tar? rpm? debian? kubernetes?

Also this is described in the documentation at

v5: Restore a database backup - Operations Manual

v4: Restore a database backup - Operations Manual

We are using neo4j version 5.x and deployed on ec2 nodes.

As part of the documentation, database has to be deleted as a first step and has to seed data from one of the source mentioned in the document. Is there any alternative way, restoring data without deleting database? Thanks

@harish.chepuri

Is there a concern with deleting the database?
I'm not aware of any other way other than what is described in the documentation

Hi @dana_canzano

I don't have any concerns about deleting the database. but I would like to apply the differential backup on top of the full backup restore. As per the documentation, we have to follow only aggregated backup steps. Could you please provide any suggestions? Thanks

Hi,

I have a close need. I want to restore the content of 2 database from backups in 1 database.

Is that even possible ? I only found that restoring a dump file is deleting everything in the database, no possibility to restore another database in a an existant one.

it is not possible to restore 2 database backups into a single database
