Use Yugabyte Platform to back up your YugabyteDB universe YCQL data.
To schedule backups for a later time, or as a recurring task, see Schedule universe YCQL data backups.
To immediately back up your YugabyteDB universe YCQL data, perform the following:
-
Open your universe and select the Backups tab.
-
Click Create Backup to open the Create Backup dialog.

If the universe has encryption at rest enabled, data files are backed up as-is (encrypted) to reduce the computation cost of a backup and to keep the files encrypted. A universe key metadata file, containing key references, is also backed up.
