Hi Jens, When you refer to restoring a snapshot for a developer to look at, do you mean restoring the cluster to that state, or just exposing that state for reference while keeping the (corrupt) current state in the live cluster?
You may find these useful: https://docs.datastax.com/en/cassandra/2.1/cassandra/operations/ops_backup_snapshot_restore_t.html https://docs.datastax.com/en/cassandra/2.1/cassandra/operations/ops_snapshot_restore_new_cluster.html Additionally, AFAIK the snapshot files are just SSTables, so any utility that can examine them (for example, sstable2json) should work on those files as well.
