Consistency checker
The consistency of a database or a backup can be checked using the check-consistency argument to the neo4j-admin tool.
The neo4j-admin tool is located in the bin directory.
If checking the consistency of a database, note that it has to be stopped first or else the consistency check will result in an error.
| It is not recommended to use an NFS to check the consistency of a database or a backup as this slows the process down significantly. |

Output
If the consistency checker does not find errors, it will exit cleanly and not produce a report.
If the consistency checker finds errors, it will exit with an exit code of 1 and write a report file with a name on the format inconsistencies-YYYY-MM-DD.HH24.MI.SS.report.
The location of the report file is the current working directory, or as specified by the parameter report-dir.
Run with the --database option to check the consistency of a database.
