OnlineBackup (Neo4j 2.1.1 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.neo4j.backup.OnlineBackup

```
public class OnlineBackup
extends Object
```
This class encapsulates the information needed to perform an online backup against a running Neo4j instance configured to act as a backup server. This class is not instantiable, instead factory methods are used to get instances configured to contact a specific backup server against which all possible backup operations can be performed. All backup methods return the same instance, allowing for chaining calls.

```
public static OnlineBackup from(String hostNameOrIp,
                int port)
```
    Factory method for this class. The OnlineBackup instance returned will perform backup operations against the hostname and port passed in as parameters.
    
    Parameters:
    hostNameOrIp - The hostname or the IP address of the backup server
    port - The port at which the remote backup server is listening
    
    Returns:
    An OnlineBackup instance ready to perform backup operations from the given remote server
  - from
```
public static OnlineBackup from(String hostNameOrIp)
```
    Factory method for this class. The OnlineBackup instance returned will perform backup operations against the hostname passed in as parameter, using the default backup port.
    
    Parameters:
    hostNameOrIp - The hostname or IP address of the backup server
    
    Returns:
    An OnlineBackup instance ready to perform backup operations from the given remote server
  - backup
```
public OnlineBackup backup(String targetDirectory)
```
    Performs a backup into targetDirectory. The server contacted is the one configured in the factory method used to obtain this instance. After the backup is complete, a verification phase will take place, checking the database for consistency. If any errors are found, they will be printed in stderr. If the target directory does not contain a database, a full backup will be performed, otherwise an incremental backup mechanism is used. If the backup has become too far out of date for an incremental backup to succeed, a full backup is performed.
    
    Parameters:
    targetDirectory - A directory holding a complete database previously obtained from the backup server.
    
    Returns:
    The same OnlineBackup instance, possible to use for a new backup operation
  - backup
```
public OnlineBackup backup(String targetDirectory,
                  boolean verification)
```
    Performs a backup into targetDirectory. The server contacted is the one configured in the factory method used to obtain this instance. After the backup is complete, and if the verification parameter is set to true, a verification phase will take place, checking the database for consistency. If any errors are found, they will be printed in stderr. If the target directory does not contain a database, a full backup will be performed, otherwise an incremental backup mechanism is used. If the backup has become too far out of date for an incremental backup to succeed, a full backup is performed.
    
    Parameters:
    targetDirectory - A directory holding a complete database previously obtained from the backup server.
    verification - If true, the verification phase will be run.
    
    Returns:
    The same OnlineBackup instance, possible to use for a new backup operation
  - backup

@Deprecated
public OnlineBackup full(String targetDirectory)
```
    Deprecated. Use backup(String) instead.
    
    Performs a full backup storing the resulting database at the given directory. The server contacted is the one configured in the factory method used to obtain this instance.

```
    Deprecated. Use backup(String, boolean) instead
    
    Performs a full backup storing the resulting database at the given directory. The server contacted is the one configured in the factory method used to obtain this instance. If the verification flag is set, at the end of the backup, a verification phase will take place, running over the resulting database ensuring it is consistent. If the check fails, the fact will be printed in stderr. If the target directory already contains a database, a RuntimeException denoting the fact will be thrown.
    
    Parameters:
    targetDirectory - The directory in which to store the database
    verification - a boolean indicating whether to perform verification on the created backup

```
    Deprecated. Use backup(String) instead.
    
    Performs an incremental backup on the database stored in targetDirectory. The server contacted is the one configured in the factory method used to obtain this instance. After the incremental backup is complete, a verification phase will take place, checking the database for consistency. If any errors are found, they will be printed in stderr. If the target directory does not contain a database or it is not compatible with the one present in the configured backup server a RuntimeException will be thrown denoting the fact.
