Medusa
Medusa is a command-line backup system for Apache Cassandra that runs on Linux in a self-hosted deployment. It supports full and differential backups, single-node backup and restore, and cluster-wide restores in place or to a remote location. Backup destinations include local storage, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, AWS S3, and compatible S3 services. It supports clusters using either single tokens or vnodes. Its verify command checks backup completion, manifest and file presence, and file hashes; MD5 checks can be enabled, while file size is checked by default. Configuration documentation covers client SSL settings and S3 server-side encryption with KMS or customer-provided keys. Retention settings can purge backups by age or count. Installation instructions cover pip and Debian packages, including offline installation, and describe installing Medusa on each Cassandra node. It requires Python 3.9 or newer and is licensed under Apache-2.0. A stated constraint is that it does not support Cassandra deployments with multiple data-folder directories.
