How do I create a snapshot of an entire node?
You can backup a Cassandra node by running the snapshot command:
$ nodetool snapshot
When you take a snapshot of a table, the backup is created in the snapshots subdirectory of the table. For example:
/path/
to/
data/
keyspace_name/
table_name-UUID/
snapshots/
snapshot_name/
Note that in Cassandra a snapshot is equivalent to a cold backup since SSTables are immutable (they don't change once written to disk).
For more information, see Backing up and restoring data in Apache Cassandra. Cheers!
