cassandra restore from incremental backup

Question

I want to use incremental backup as main cassandra backup type in my system, but I have some miss understanding:

1. The one way to make restore from incremental backup that worked for me - just copy from backup folder to table folder, is that the right way to make it?
2. Can I,somehow, make backup of table\keyspace parameters, like index/replica_factor etc?

Thanks.

Answer 1

1. If you have not dropped the table.for restoration

   Stop the C* node

   Copy the backup folder to table directory. You are right on that.

   Start the server.

2. If you want schema, you can check snapshot folder. There you can find schema.cql
