Apache Cassandra Backup and Restore Tool

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) and AWS S3 through Apache Libcloud. Can be extended to support other storage providers supported by Apache Libcloud.
• 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.
