How do I implement daily Droplet backups?
You cannot change the frequency of Droplet backups, but you can use SnapShooter or the API to create daily snapshots of your Droplets.
How do I recover a deleted Droplet?
You can recover your Droplet if you have taken a snapshot of the Droplet or signed up for automated backups.
