I am backing up a database using neo4j-admin database backup command and pushing the backup files to S3. Now I want to test if the backups present in S3 works. I am taking full backups and no differential backups are being taken.
I have downloaded the backup file from S3.
Lets say the source database is "source.database"
point to consider -
- I dont want to disrupt the existing database. so can I create a "test.backup" database and restore using the neo4j-admin database restore command.
I tried doing this through this command - "neo4j-admin database restore --from-path= --overwrite-destination=true --to-path-data=/var/lib/neo4j/data/databases/ --to-path-txn=/var/lib/neo4j/data/transactions/ test.backup.
It says "Finish recovering database " but the database "test.backup" will be in offline state. In "show databases" the "statusMessage" is "/var/lib/neo4j/data/transactions/test.backup".
