Executing multiple Cassandra backup during the day via API on Dynatrace Managed

AndreaLibralato — Tue, 21 Oct 2025 06:47:18 GMT

Hi all,

is that possible to execute multiple Cassandra backup during the day?

In the CMC I see the possibility to schedule "complete" backup once a day, while ES one is triggered every 2 hrs, I want to schedule more backups for DR plan to reduce the RPO to 2-3hrs (12-8 backups per day) instead 1 day.

Thanks in advance for you suggestions and help.

Regards,

Andrea

Hello @AndreaLibralato, hope you found a solution that works for your needs. if not here is my feedback - If your monitoring system is big with multi-nodes, taking multiple backups wouldn't help. Reasons: it would take approx. 3 ~ 4 hrs per node to restore a single node and your restored system won't have any distributed traces, metric granular. Would recommend in just getting configuration backup so you can quickly restore and start monitoring your systems.

Thanks
