Hi, I am using the neo4j community edition in a PHP webapp that I am currently developing and found it to be a really cool solution for my project. It is a small project and I am just a single guy developing it so I am nowhere near needing HA or sharding capabilities. Here is the problem I see with neo4j in any form of webapp (SaaS): To be able to create an online backup you'll have to use the enterprise edition (=2000 dollars a month) or you are forced to shutdown the service for a short period of time (most likely multiple times per day) which can be an absolute no-go for a webapp.
So my question is: Is there another method of doing an online backup for a single neo4j instance? I thought about traversing the whole graph and creating a second graph filled with the result. I could then shutdown the second instance and just backup the files old school style. This sounds super ugly, but maybe it is a way to think about. I am fine with solutions that would require some additional developing. If the only solution is to use the enterprise edition than I would highly suggest some alternative ways for the next neo4j releases as this would prevent a lot of webdevelopers from using the product. It would be nice to have a way to do online backups for a single instance only so the benefits of the advanced and enterprise editions would still exist. Anyways, thanks for your time and answers Greetings from Austria, Hannes -- View this message in context: http://neo4j-community-discussions.438527.n3.nabble.com/Online-backups-for-single-instance-using-community-edition-tp3415246p3415246.html Sent from the Neo4j Community Discussions mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Neo4j mailing list User@lists.neo4j.org https://lists.neo4j.org/mailman/listinfo/user
