Medusa for Apache Cassandra™
Medusa is an Apache Cassandra backup system.
Features
Medusa is a command line tool that offers the following features:
- Single node backup
- Single node restore
- Cluster wide in place restore (restoring on the same cluster that was used for the backup)
- Cluster wide remote restore (restoring on a different cluster than the one used for the backup)
- Backup purge
- Support for local storage, Google Cloud Storage (GCS), Azure Blob Storage and AWS S3 (and its compatibles)
- Support for clusters using single tokens or vnodes
- Full or differential backups
Medusa currently does not support (but we would gladly accept help with changing that):
- Cassandra deployments with multiple data folder directories.
