I'm looking to hear how others are coping with snapshots. According to the doc: https://docs.datastax.com/en/cassandra/3.0/cassandra/operations/opsBackupDeleteSnapshot.html
*When taking a snapshot, previous snapshot files are not automatically deleted. You should remove old snapshots that are no longer needed.* *The nodetool clearsnapshot <https://docs.datastax.com/en/cassandra/3.0/cassandra/tools/toolsClearSnapShot.html> command removes all existing snapshot files from the snapshot directory of each keyspace. You should make it part of your back-up process to clear old snapshots before taking a new one.* But if you delete first, then there is a window of time when no snapshot exists until the new one is created. And with a single snapshot there is no recovery further back than it. Please advise. Thanks. Lou.
