Assuming that contains both commitlog and data directories, that should do it. You can tell by what it logs when it first starts up, if it's asking other nodes to send it data. -- Jonathan Ellis Project Chair, Apache Cassandra co-founder of Riptano, the source for professional Cassandra support http://riptano.com
