Assume I have a droplet and I want to backup more often than weekly so I write my own snapshot schedule to create a snapshot every day. Will each day’s snapshot cost me the same or will they be snapshot deltas so each could be different sizes (and smaller than the original)? Are subsequent snapshots completed faster than the first snapshot of a droplet?
