I need to copy an existing neo4j database in Python. I even do not need it for backup, just to play around with while keeping the original database untouched. However, there is nothing about copy/backup operations in neo4j.py documentation (I am using python embedded binding).
Can I just copy the whole folder with the original neo4j database to a folder with a new name?
Or is there any special method available in neo4j.py?
Yes,
you can copy the whole DB directory when you have cleanly shut down the DB for backup.
