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.
