Snapshots Details
Snapshots are on-demand disk images of DigitalOcean Droplets and volumes saved to your account. Use them to create new Droplets and volumes with the same contents.
Snapshots provide a full copy of a DigitalOcean Droplet or volume. Creating a snapshot saves everything from the Droplet or volume’s disk to a disk image saved in your DigitalOcean account. You can use snapshots to archive a Droplet or volume at a point in time. We also back up snapshots offsite for additional resiliency.
Snapshots are charged at $0.06 per GB per month for Droplets and $0.06 per GiB per month for volumes.
Snapshots are available for all Droplets and volumes across all regions.
