Safeguarding Your Graph Data

Online vs. Offline Backups
Neo4j offers two main approaches to backing up your data, each with different implications for database availability:
- Offline Backups: The database instance must be stopped before the backup process begins. This ensures data consistency.
- Online Backups: These allow you to back up a live, running database without any downtime. This feature is typically available in Neo4j Enterprise Edition.
