This section describes how to manually backup and restore an existing DataStax Enterprise installation.
Before continuing:
- Make sure you have sufficient diskspace to store a complete data snapshot as well as a compress TAR archive of that snapshot.
- When restoring, do not change the installation structure. If you must change the structure of the restored installation, you will have to make any necessary path and configuration adjustments.
