Snapshot Import

Snapshot import lets you bring existing Cassandra snapshots under AxonOps management so they can be restored through the UI.

When to use snapshot import

• You created snapshots manually (or via another tool) and want to restore with AxonOps.
• You migrated data directories and need AxonOps to recognize snapshots.

How it works

AxonOps maps a snapshot directory into its internal snapshot catalog so it can be selected from the Restore view. The agent updates the snapshot structure and permissions to align with AxonOps restore workflows.

Requirements

• The snapshot directories exist under the configured Cassandra data paths.
• The AxonOps agent has filesystem access to the snapshot directories.

Notes

• Snapshot import does not upload data to remote storage.
• For point-in-time restore, enable commit log archiving and use the PITR workflow.
