Re: Cassandra backup to alternate location

No - they'll hardlink into the snapshot folder on each data directory. They
are true hardlinks, so even if you could move it, it'd still be on the same
filesystem.

Typical behavior is to issue a snapshot, and then copy the data out as
needed (using something like https://github.com/JeremyGrosser/tablesnap ).

Cassandra backup to alternate location

2018-06-28 Thread Lohchab, Sanjeev
Hi All,

I am trying to backup Cassandra DB, but by default it is saving the snapshots 
in the default location.
Is there any way we can specific the location where we want to store the 
snapshots.

Sanjeev
