I tried to add backups to my FreeBSD droplet and saw that it was “unsupported in this configuration” - while that’s not a huge deal for me right now, I plan on relying on my droplet more as time goes on so backups are going to become more important. Snapshots aren’t a great option because I plan to host mail and don’t want to take the server down for snapshotting too often. (Edit: I just realized I am asking this in the community forum… I’ll let it sit here anyway in case someone wants to chime in!)
