I got an error when executing backup command:

cassandra-snapshotter --s3-bucket-name=XXXX \
                      --s3-bucket-region=us-east-1 \
                      --s3-base-path=XXXXX \
                      --aws-access-key-id=XXXXXXXXXXXX \
                      --aws-secret-access-key=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX \
                      --s3-ssenc \
                      backup \
                      --hosts=lab_db \
                      --user=cassandra

in order to use the tool you need to be able to ssh and use sudo on each Cassandra node from the terminal that starts the backup without a password prompt.
