Take a snapshot of the droplet once it has been powered off, which can later be restored or used to create a new droplet from the same image.
List available snapshots
List available snapshots
Restore a droplet with a previous image or snapshot. This will be a mirror copy of the image or snapshot to your droplet. Be sure you have backed up any necessary information prior to restore.
droplet_snapshot(droplet, name = NULL, wait = TRUE, ...)
droplet_snapshots_list(droplet, ...)
droplet_restore(droplet, image, ...)
droplet_backups_list(droplet, ...)
A droplet number or the result from a call to
droplets()
(character) Optional. Name of the new snapshot you want to create. If not set, the snapshot name will default to the current date/time
If TRUE
(default), wait until the snapshot has been
completed and is ready for use. If set to FALSE
we return a
droplet object right away after droplet snapshot request has been sent.
Additional options passed down to POST
(optional) The image ID of the backup image that you would like to restore.
