Summary

The text discusses the addition of a feature to produce backups from running sandboxes in Neo4j, allowing users to continue working locally or in Aura. The backup process involves requesting a backup, waiting for it to finish, and then downloading a pre-signed URL for 30 days. The dump file can be used in multiple ways, such as importing it into Aura Free, Neo4j Desktop, or other Neo4j instances. To produce the dump file, users need to make an online backup, restore the database locally, make a dump from the local database, and upload it to S3 using Amazon SQS and a Celery backup service. The feature is designed to be asynchronous, allowing users to work without waiting for the backup process to complete. The text also explains how to load the dump file into Aura and provides information on the newly added feature in Neo4j Sandbox.
