If you have equivalent number of nodes then use snapshot to backup and then restore them on Dev. You will need to create the schema on the Dev box. The CFiD will be different so at most you may have to rename the Prod sstable dirs to match whats on Dev.
Another method is to use sstableloader if you don’t have an equivalent number of nodes. Otherwise if you can throw away Dev , just take everything from Prod and bring it up in a new Dev. -- Rahul Singh rahul.si...@anant.us Anant Corporation On Feb 9, 2018, 1:18 AM -0500, Anshu Vajpayee <anshu.vajpa...@gmail.com>, wrote: > Team , > > I want to validate and POC on production data.
