Hi Dojo,

I want to move my Cassandra DB from a local disk on the same server on which DataMiner is running to a Linux server. Therefore I'm following the steps described in https://community.dataminer.services/documentation/standalone-cassandra-backup-tool/

According to the log file the backup succeeded

2022-01-04 12:53:24|Taking snapshot with nodetool with C:\Program Files\Cassandra\bin\nodetool.bat and name: cloud
2022-01-04 12:53:24|Getting nodes for host 127.0.0.1
2022-01-04 12:53:24|Executing command: status
2022-01-04 12:53:25|ExitCode: 0. Output: Datacenter: datacenter1
========================
Status=Up/Down
|/ State=Normal/Leaving/Joining/Moving
-- Address Load Tokens Owns Host ID Rack
UN 127.0.0.1 23,85 GiB 256 ? 41df37c1-c274-47c5-bf0d-a053e768b884 rack1

Note: Non-system keyspaces don't have the same replication settings, effective ownership information is meaningless

2022-01-04 12:53:25|Taking snapshot with nodetool for host 127.0.0.1
2022-01-04 12:53:25|Executing command: snapshot -t cloud
2022-01-04 12:53:38|ExitCode: 0. Output: Requested creating snapshot(s) for [all keyspaces] with snapshot name [cloud] and options {skipFlush=false}
Snapshot directory: cloud

2022-01-04 12:53:38|Done taking snapshot for host 127.0.0.1

problem is that I can't find the backup on my system. Where is it located?

Hi Jens,

According to the Dojo article (Standalone Cassandra Backup Tool), this tool will generate the snapshots in the following folder:

data_directory/keyspace_name/table_name-UUID/snapshots/

According to the log file attached, there should be a snapshot cloud available in:

data_directory/keyspace_name/table_name-UUID/snapshots/cloud

For a default installation, the folder should be:

C:\ProgramData\Cassandra\SLDMADB\table_name-UUID\snapshots\cloud

Hope it helps!
