Thanks, Aaron and Tim Yes. I am trying to decommision a seed node. Looks like the only way to prevent a seed node automatically join the previous cluster on backup is to change its cluster_name

The other nodes will be looking for it. Change the Cluster Name in the yaml file.

I removed a node from the cluster. Then I decommissioned the removed node, stopped it, updated its config so that it only has itself as the seed and in the cassandra-topology.properties file, even deleted the data, commitlog, and saved_caches. But as soon as I start it backup it is able to join back to the cluster. How does this node know the information of the existing cluster and was able to join it ? The other nodes may be trying to connect to it - it may be listed as a seed node on the other machines?
