Can you restore a ScyllaDB from only a backup of /var/lib/scylla/data folder?
All user data keyspace/s + system keyspaces (system_auth, system_schema and others) reside under /var/lib/scylla/data.
So if you have a backup of /data folder (with all it's subfolders -&gt; tables, and sstables files etc.)
You should defenetly be able to restore your cluster with it's data.
You will need to recreate the cluster's /var/lib/scylla/scylla.yaml
The part about &quot;no snapshots&quot; is not clear...
