Enabling Commit Log Backups for a Cassandra Cluster

You can enable commit log backups to run Cassandra commit log backups and restores.

Before You Begin

Ensure you have the following software on the Cassandra client:

• Cassandra 3.0 or later

• Commvault Service Pack 12 or later

Procedure

1. From the navigation pane, go to Protect > Big data.

   The Big data page appears.

2. In the Name column, click the cluster that you want to enable commit log backups for.

   The cluster page appears.

3. On the Configuration tab, in the General tile, move the Commit log backups toggle key to the right.

   The Commit log backups dialog box appears.

4. In the Archive Log Path box, enter the path to the folders where the software archives the commit logs, such as /comm or /opt/test.

   For docker deployments, in the Archive Log Path box, enter the relative folder path to the container in the volume that is already mapped.

5. In the Archive Command box, enter the archive command. The following options are available:

   • cp: This command copies the commit log to the archive log path. Use this option only for docker deployments.

   • ln: This command creates a hard link to the commit logs in the archive path.

6. Click Save.
