How to download backup from digitalocean?

Question

DigitalOcean

Where does it store droplet backups? I want to then extend and simply restore from an existing droplet. After all, how did I understand if I don’t pay, then my droplet will be erased?

Answer 1

Downloading the droplet image itself is most likely not possible.
They do not have an interface for uploading snapshots or backups.

How can I download a backup?
Unfortunately you are unable to store a snapshot or backup outside of our environment

You can deploy the droplet for an hour, make an rsync copy at home (with keys that will help you restore the virtual machine to another location) and turn it off again.
