Parameter |

-cf <table> / –column-family <table>, –table <table> |
The table name (you must specify one and only one keyspace for using this option). The table can be a regular table, a materialized view, or an index. For an index, the name of the materialized view backing the index should be used. |
-h <host> / –host <host> |
Node hostname or ip address |
-kc <ktlist>, –kc.list <ktlist> |
The list of Keyspaces to take snapshot |
-p <port> / –port <port> |
The port of the REST API of the ScyllaDB node. |
-sf / –skip-flush |
Do not flush memtables before snapshotting (snapshot will not contain unflushed data) |
-t <tag> / –tag <tag> |
The name of the snapshot |
-- This option can be used to separate command-line options from the list of argument, (useful when arguments might be mistaken for command-line options.
[<keyspaces...>] List of keyspaces. By default, all keyspaces.
Snapshot all the keyspaces
> nodetool snapshot
Requested creating snapshot(s) for [all keyspaces] with snapshot name [1564577645291] and options {skipFlush=false}
Snapshot directory: 1564577645291
Snapshot a keyspace (mykeyspace)
> nodetool snapshot mykeyspace;
Requested creating snapshot(s) for [mykeyspace] with snapshot name [1564577611409] and options {skipFlush=false}
Snapshot directory: 1564577611409
Snapshot a list of keyspaces
>nodetool snapshot -kc mykeyspace,yourkeyspace
Requested creating snapshot(s) for [mykeyspace,yourkeyspace] with snapshot name [1564639559884] and options {skipFlush=false}
Snapshot directory: 1564639559884
Snapshot a table (heartrate)
> nodetool snapshot --table heartrate mykeyspace;
Requested creating snapshot(s) for [mykeyspace] with snapshot name [1564577586524] and options {skipFlush=false}
Snapshot directory: 1564577586524
The snapshot is created in a snapshot directory in the table SSTable data directory. For example, repeating the heartrate command above three times will create three snapshots for table heartrate in keyspace mykeyspace
> ls /var/lib/scylla/data/mykeyspace/heartrate-07669030b39211e9a057000000000000/snapshots/
1564577586524 1564577611409 1564577645291
Each of the snapshots is a hardlink to to the SSTable directory.
