Import Data from Graphene DB to Neo4j Aura

To import data from Graphene DB to Neo4j Aura, you first need to import the data to a local Neo4j installation. You can then upload the data from the local installation to the cloud(Neo4j Aura) using the push-to-cloud option.

Notes:

• The goal here is to import an entire database from GrapheneDB into an existing Neo4j Aura instance and not just partial data.
• Please make the source Graphene DB, the local Neo4j installation, and the destination Aura instance are of the same Neo4j version (3.x, 4.x, etc.).
• Replacing the contents of the local Neo4j instance's data folder will result in the loss of any existing data in your local Neo4j instance.
• Existing data in the Neo4j Aura instance will be overwritten when the push-to-cloud command is run with the --overwrite=true option. 

Outline of Steps:

1. Export the database's content as a snapshot from GrapheneDB.
2. Load datastore exported from GrapheneDB into a local Neo4j instance.
3. Use push-to-cloud to export the data from your local Neo4j installation to a Neo4j Aura instance.

 1. Export the database's content as a snapshot from GrapheneDB.

1. Download your GrapheneDB Neo4j instance's backup from the Backups tab, using the Download Option.
   
   
   
   
2. If you want to take the fresh backup, please click Take Snapshot now, and a tar.gz file will be downloaded. This tarball will have databases and transactions folders for the database along with some additional files.

2. Loading an exported datastore into a local Neo4j instance:

1. Download and Unzip the Graphene tarball into a folder on your local machine. e.g. C:\Import\GrapheneDB
2. Stop the local Neo4j Instance.
3. Replace the contents of the local Neo4j instance's data folder ( `path\to\neo4j\data`) with  the contents of the folder C:\Import\GrapheneDB
4. Restart the Neo4j server.
5. Start the local Neo4j instance and verify that you are able to view your data.

3. Exporting data from your local Neo4j installation to a Neo4j Aura instance.

Once you have verified the data on Local Neo4j Installation, you can upload it in Aura using push-to-cloud.

1. Stop the local Neo4j instance.
2. Execute the below command after replacing the bolt-uri with Neo4j Aura instance's URL and database, username and password with your database's name, username and password.
