can set up incremental backups to be performed every hour, or at whatever frequency suits
your needs.
11.3.3. Restoring from backup
To restore a Neo4j database from a backup, simply follow these steps:
1 . Shut down the specific Neo4j instance to be restored.
2 . Delete the folder that contains the old or corrupted version of the Neo4j database
and replace it with the backed-up version.
3 . Restart the Neo4j instance.
That's it! You're done! It seems a bit too easy, doesn't it? But that really is all there is to it!
11.4. Topics we couldn't cover but that you should be aware of
Security and monitoring are two topics we couldn't cover, but that may be worth looking
into if you have specific requirements in these areas.
11.4.1. Security
Ensuring that you can run Neo4j securely in your production environment should form an
importantpartofyourconfiguration.Dependingonhowyou'remakinguseofNeo4j,there
are different aspects to consider.
There are no out-of-the-box security options provided for those making use of the embed-
ded mode—Neo4j doesn't provide any data-level security or encryption facilities. Most of
the out-of-the-box options (as well as supplementary security configuration setups and ap-
proaches) are geared to the use of Neo4j in standalone mode (Neo4j server).
