Hi,
I am setting backup and restoration tooling for a Cassandra cluster and have a specific question regarding incremental backup. Let’s say I’m running incremental backups and take a snapshot. At the exact(ish) same time as my snapshot it taken another incremental *.db file is hard linked into the backups directory. My question is, how do I know which snapshot my incremental file belongs to? If it was made half a second _before_ my snapshot, it belongs to the previous snapshot. If it was made half a second after my snapshot, I guess it belongs to my latest snapshot. Or, is this not an issue since I can always include the uncertain incremental file when restoring (since timestamps are always included with every column value)?
