How to restore backup data for Openshift Neo4j?

[bobyin]

Hi

I'm new for the Neo4j, and put it in the Openshift server, it works fine.

Now I want to backup and restore it, hit the problem that I have to stop neo4j server to restore, but the entrypoint is to start neo4j by default in the Openshift pod/container.

Don't know how to solve it, please advise. Thanks

Not exactly related but we've ran into a similar problem. The neo4j-admin tool requires running as the neo4j user. For non-admins running on an OCP cluster, it is impossible to execute any command on a running pod since OpenShift runs every pod as an arbitrary user ID. Any workarounds?
