I am thinking of "rm <file.db>" once the backup is complete. Any special cases to be careful about? -Kumar Date: Sat, 14 Jun 2014 13:13:10 -0700 Subject: Re: incremental backups From: psanf...@retailnext.net To: user@cassandra.apache.org
You should delete the backup files once you have copied them off. Otherwise they will start to use disk space as the live SSTables diverge from the snapshots/incrementals. -psanford On Sat, Jun 14, 2014 at 10:17 AM, S C <as...@outlook.com> wrote: Is it ok to delete files from backups directory (hardlinks) once I have it copied over remotely?
