How to migrate my local neo4j dataset to the grapheneDB instance

Question

I am currently working on a project and It's time for me to host both the application and my graph database. I have chosen heroku and I have been able to deploy my application, add an add-on (GrpaheneDB). Now I would like to migrate my local dataset on my online database. I have been searching for two days now.

Every time I try restoring the database, I get this error:

To quote from GrapheneDB's troubleshooting section for importing:

When a restore process fails, it’s usually due to one of the following reasons:

• The store files were copied while Neo4j is still running: Make sure Neo4j is stopped.
• The store files correspond to a newer version of Neo4j than the one on GrapheneDB: Make sure you restore to the same version or higher.
• The compressed file is not a supported format: Make sure you use one of our supported formats, which include zip, tar, cpio, gz, bz2 and xz.
• There are store files missing within the compressed file: Make sure the archive contains the full graph.db directory and all files inside (use the recursive option when creating the archive).
