@Mahdi_KamaliMahdi_Kamali**:** Does incremental backup include the data received in a repair operation?
What about new SSTables generated in com@doraction?
@dor**:** yes, data written from repair is written as a standard new sstable (mixed with other data that came in to tha@Mahdi_Kamali memtable)
@Mahdi_Kamali**:** Ni@dore! W@dorat about compaction? @dor
@dor**:** If you turn on incremental backup, it copy-on-write every sstable, including all new s@Mahdi_Kamalitables created by@dorcompaction
@Mahdi_Kamali**:** Are you sure?! @dor
Therefore running compaction will fill the disk space. Because new large SSTables will be created and that will almost duplicate the data. Am I right?
@dor**:** Compactions removes data eventually too
