Hi!

Here, it is mentioned that you can enable Incremental Backup in Cassandra. However, Cassandra documentation explicitly states that incremental backup files are not automatically cleared.

Now, I assume that Commvault will clear the incremental backup files after a successful backup job, but I would like to have confirmation on that. Does CV do that? Documentation makes no reference of it (or I could not find it).

Thanks!

@Patrick Dijkgraaf , confirmed that we do clear up the 'backups' dir contents after an incremental backup.

I created a documentation MR in your name to get this addressed for posterity!
