Memory

CPU

Aura provides database as a service through public cloud providers. It runs on container technology and this allows for the AuraDB Instance to allocate dedicated CPU resources.

Storage

Neo4j Aura automates the backup process (you can also create your own on-demand snapshots), storing your data securely in the cloud. Backups are saved in the storage bucket of the cloud provider in the same region as your Neo4j Aura instance.

Encryption key

Neo4j Managed Key encrypts your data

Vector Optimized

Whether vector optimization is enabled for the instance or not. See Vector optimization for more information.

Graph Data Science Plugin

Whether the GDS Plugin is present or not. See Graph Analytics plugin for more information.

Snapshots

The data in your instance can be backed up, exported, and restored using snapshots. A snapshot is a copy of the data in an instance at a specific point in time.

Neo4j regularly takes snapshots of your instance, and you can also take a snapshot on demand. These snapshots can be used to restore data to a different Neo4j instance.

For more information, see Backup, export, and restore.

Restore from backup file

You can restore a database to your instance by dragging and dropping it to this tab. It needs to be either a .dump, .backup, or .tar file. When you restore a database, all existing data is overwritten by your selected file.

See Restore for more information.
