Yesterday Stefan Armbruster kindly helped me with an issue (on StackOverflow
<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27151590/neo4j-2-1-5-incremental-backup-fails-but-full-backup-succeeds>)
where my backups were reporting as inconsistent. Upgrading Neo to 2.1.6 and
Stefan running some dedupe process required to fix data corrupted by a
previous version of Neo did seem to rectify the problem. However having run
for a few hours the partial backups have started failing again:
Exception in thread "main" org.neo4j.consistency.ConsistencyCheckingError:

If I run the full backup then no inconsistencies are reported:

I have noted a few historical issues with the backup service, is this
likely to be related? I am using Neo4J Spatial (2.0.1) and SDN 3.1.4 in
case that makes any difference.
I can update the code to skip the verification phase, but, if the data is
inconsistent that would seem foolhardy! I can have the code fallback to a
full backup if the partial fails (I thought in part that is what the
backup.backup method did anyway?) but I would like to know if I can trust
the backup service with my data.
Many Thanks,
Mark.
