Prominent Features of Cassandra Backup Tool
Backup Cassandra Database Automatically
Handy Backup contains a built-in task scheduler, allowing automating any Cassandra backup strategy by running related tasks at an exact time, with exactly defined intervals and, in addition, by some system events or by missing a scheduled task by some reason. You will always have your backup completed!
Storage Methods for All Purposes
In addition to using local drives for saving tables (such as in a typical Cassandra backup script), you can use any modern local or network storage, including saving Cassandra backup to S3 or WebDAV clouds, clouds such as OneDrive, Google Drive or Dropbox, FTP, SFTP or FTPS servers and USB disks.
Additional Features
You will have options to do any type of backup (such as Cassandra incremental backup), keep some versions, possible with time stamps in backup folder names, encrypt and compress your copies, get notifications about task results by email, run other software before or after Cassandra backup tasks, etc.
Recovering a Cassandra Snapshot Backup
With a future Cassandra backup plug-in, you can do Cassandra restore as easy as taking backups. Automatic recovery tasks will allow restoring a copy to its original place, or moving Cassandra restore snapshot to new cluster, or make a regular saving and recovering to create a mirror. Do what you want!
