Security settings for the Neo4J Database - sitcomlab/IPED-Toolkit GitHub Wiki
- Setup of backups
- HTTP/HTTPS
- Authorization (planned)
- First install the program zip:
sudo apt-get install zip
- After that create a new directory:
sudo mkdir backup-script
- Go into the new folder and create a new Bash-Script there:
sudo nano backup-neo4j-dbs.sh
- Add the following lines:
#!/bin/bash
# Preperation of the date:
NOW=$(date +”%Y-%m-%d-&H-%M”)
# Zip the backup for the first (master) database
zip -r /home/sitcomlab/neo4j-community-2.0.2/backups/backup_$NOW /home/sitcomlab/neo4j-community-2.0.2/data
# Zip the backup for the second (develop) database
zip -r /home/sitcomlab/neo4j-community-2.1.1/backups/backup_$NOW /home/sitcomlab/neo4j-community-2.1.1/data
- After that you have to make the little Bash-Script executable:
sudo chmod +x backup-neo4j-dbs.sh
- The last step is to create a cronjob which executes the Bash-Script everyday at midnight. But before the zip-files can created we have to stop the webserver and the two Neo4J-database-servers. So open the systemwide crontab by usind the command:
sudo nano /etc/crontab
- And add the lines below:
# /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab
# Unlike any other crontab you don't have to run the `crontab'
# command to install the new version when you edit this file
# and files in /etc/cron.d. These files also have username fields,
# that none of the other crontabs do.
