Hi Currently I am taking daily snapshot on my keyspace in production and already enable the incremental backups as well.
According to the documentation, the incremental backup option will create an hard-link to the backup folder when new sstable is flushed. Snapshot will copy all the data/index/etc. files to a new folder. Question: What will happen (with enabling the incremental backup) when crash (due to any reason) the Cassandra before flushing the data as a SSTable (inserted data still in commitlog). In this case how can I backup/restore data? Do I need to backup the commitlogs as well and and replay during the server start to restore the data in commitlog files? Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://cassandra-user-incubator-apache-org.3065146.n2.nabble.com/Cassandra-backup-question-regarding-commitlogs-tp7511918.html Sent from the cassandra-u...@incubator.apache.org mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
