Hi, Thanks for the quick response Romain. We would like to avoid using extra disk space, so no DAS/SAN. We are more interested in achieving something like what is now being done with Oracle - Symantec's NetBackup is used to backup directly to tape, no intermediate storage is needed.
It could be NetBackup or whatever product supported by Cassandra that writes the backup on tape without storing it on disk first.

Do you store your data on DAS or SAN? Some hints regarding Cassandra is either to drain the node to backup or take a Cassandra snapshot and then to backup this snapshot. We backup our data on tape but we also store our data on SAN, so it's pretty vendor specific.
