Re: How do you remote backup your cassandra nodes ?

I'm wanting to back up my data to amazon S3. Can anyone please tell about
which directories should I copy to the remote location for backup so as to
restore the entire Cassandra data in the event of any failures?

You might want to use the Priam tool for backups.

If you don't want to use Priam, you should read this Datastax entry on
backup and restore.

Thanks for the links.

@Colin: The Datastax doc about backup/restore (the one you linked to) is
more about onsite backups, but not for remote backups. It did not described
about what directories should I copy for backup to a remote location. After
taking the snapshots should I copy all the snapshots directories within the
tables directories to the remote location or do I need to copy the entire
data directory  commitlog directory.

Another way rather than snapshot, could be to flush all the keyspaces, CFs
 then copy the data  commitlog directory to remote location, isn't it ?

What directories/files needs to be copied for a remote location backup ?
