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.
-
Creating a snapshot of a Droplet does not capture volumes attached to the Droplet. You can create snapshots of volumes separately.
-
Snapshots of volumes cannot be moved between regions or transferred to different DigitalOcean accounts.
-
You can store up to 25 snapshots of a given volume. Delete old snapshots to make room for new ones.
-
Snapshots are not incremental. Each snapshot is a full disk image.
-
For each volume, you can create up to one snapshot every 10 minutes.
