Last Published:
Product(s): NetBackup (10.0)

Protecting Cassandra

On a very high level, you need:

  • NetBackup primary server

  • NetBackup media server

  • A backup host that is NetBackup primary, NetBackup media server or a NetBackup client.

Refer to the NetBackup compatibility list for the supported primary and media server configurations. The backup host that is NetBackup media server or a NetBackup client for Cassandra is supported only on an RHEL. NetBackup Appliance, NetBackup Flex Appliance and NetBackup FlexScale is supported as a NetBackup primary, media server, or as a client that can act as a backup host.

You need to follow the high-level steps for protecting Cassandra cluster:

  1. Verify pre-requisites for Cassandra protection.

  2. Run tpconfig on the NetBackup primary server.

  3. Create cassandra.conf file with configuration details on the primary server.

  4. Add required paths and hosts in the Allowed list.
