There are two ways you can import data from an existing Neo4j database into an Aura instance.

You can use the *import database* process to import either a _.backup_ file or a _.dump_ file.
This process, however, only works for _.backup_ and _.dump_ files under 4GB.
Use the *import database* process in the Aura console UI to import a _.backup_, _.dump_ or _.tar_ file as long as it’s less than 4GB.

If the size of the _.backup_ or _.dump_ file exported from a database is greater than 4GB, you must use the <<_neo4j_admin_database_upload>> method.
Use the <<_neo4j_admin_database_upload>> command if the size of the _.backup_, _.dump_ or _.tar_ file exported from a database larger than 4GB.

When importing a _.backup_ or _.dump_ file, it is highly recommended that it is version 4.4 or higher.
It is highly recommended that the _.backup_, _.dump_ , or _.tar_ file, is of version 4.4 or higher.

For more information about backups, see xref:auradb/managing-databases/backup-restore-export.adoc[].
