Question
4 hours and still waiting on snapshot to finish

I have been waiting over 4 hours for my snapshot to finish. This is a $10 a month droplet. I am only using about 9GB.
I have logged out and back in to make sure the console wasn’t stuck.
It has been at 50% for over 3 hours.
Ticket has been submitted for 2 hours.
Anyone had this happen before? Don’t think I’ll be using snapshots anymore.

also having this issue did you ever find a resolution?
same issue , snapshot is over than 6 hours !!!
We have found at SnapShooter that sometimes snapshots hang but only very rarely. We have taken 1000’s of snapshots and only had a couple fail.
Based on our data 9gb should take 7-9 minutes to backup, we do find if a server is under extremely high load they take a bit longer. But I would say in your instance it’s broken.
Once it’s been unjammed I would not let it discourage you from taking snapshots.
