. If it is, a separate backup service (which comes as part of the Neo4j distribution) is
started as well. It defaults to port 6362 for a single server setup and 5001 for an HA setup.
This service provides the access point for the Neo4j backup tool to connect to, in order to
read the underlying store and transaction log files to backup.
