Cassandra backup to alternate location

Hi All,

I am trying to backup Cassandra DB, but by default it is saving the snapshots in the default location.
Is there any way we can specific the location where we want to store the snapshots.

Regards
Sanjeev

No - they'll hardlink into the snapshot folder on each data directory. They
are true hardlinks, so even if you could move it, it'd still be on the same
filesystem.

Typical behavior is to issue a snapshot, and then copy the data out as
needed (using something like https://github.com/JeremyGrosser/tablesnap ).
