Hi Dojo, what is the recommendation to backup databases when having cassandra external and opensearch cluster?

Full backup (with database) does not work (as expected)

To backup Cassandra what will be the recommendation?

Stand alone backup tool? Standalone Cassandra Backup tool | DataMiner Docs

Medusa? Backing up and restoring a Cassandra cluster using Medusa | DataMiner Docs

Hi Danielle,

For an external Cassandra cluster, Medusa is the recommended approach for managing backups and restores of the data.
As a utility it is more feature complete than the stand alone backup tool and allows for easier automation of the backup jobs.
