I am running v5.10 (I could upgrade if required) and want to perform a backup remotely from a non-neo4j machine. If I configure the server then I can use the backup service to trigger a backup remotely using the neo4j-admin tool.
But how do I install just the neo4j-admin tool on my remote machine without installing the whole of neo4j?
You have to have the neo4j also in the remote machine but you do not have to start the neo4j process. Like that, you have the neo4j-admin command. Also, please keep in mind that you have to have the neo4j-admin.conf file to setup the remote ip and the rest of the configurations that you want to use with neo4j-admin.
