Today I configured incremental backups in a test node which already has some
data on it,
and I found that backups are not created for STTables created by a compact:
mddione@life:~/src/works/orange/Cassandra$ sudo find
/var/lib/cassandra/data/one_cf
/var/lib/cassandra/data/one_cf
Incremental backups are only triggered when new data is written to disk,
such as a memtable being flushed or data being streamed in from a repair or
move. Compaction does not create any new data, so there's no need to back
up the result.
