How to save Graphs in Neo4j?

I'm very new Neo4j and I was wondering how to save a graph and upload it again. When I try to save my graph in either a CSV or JSON file it seems to only save the nodes and none of the relationships. I want to be able to completely save a graph and import the identical graph back with all the nodes and relationships intact.

The graph itself is stored in the graph.db directory, which you can find in your neo4j data (2.x) or data/databases (3.x) sub-directories.

You can simply back-up that folder and later move/copy that back-up in the appropriate place, before starting up the neo4j server to get your graph back.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by upload it again, but it sounds like you're referring to a backup of the database, and restoring from backup later.

This answer might be what you're looking for.

Otherwise, you might look at the import/export options offered by the APOC procedures plugin.
