Backing up and restoring data

The procedures for backing up and restoring data are the same for DataStax Enterprise (DSE) In-Memory data and on-disk data.

Use snapshots to manage backups and restores.

You can also use the OpsCenter Backup Service.

Always run nodetool cleanup before taking a snapshot for restore. Otherwise invalid replicas (replicas that have been superseded by new, valid replicas on newly added nodes) can be inadvertently copied to the target. This results in old data showing up on the target.

Before upgrading DataStax Enterprise (DSE), create a backup of all keyspaces.
