Heya @4caebad5a7314bc6a148c78d5fd7bb,
What you can use is the DigitalOcean’s backup products.
There are two that might match what you need - https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/backups/. Thse Backups are automatically-created disk images of Droplets. Enabling backups for Droplets enables system-level backups at weekly or daily intervals, which provides a way to revert to an older state or create new Droplets.

Hope that this helps!
Hi there,
What I could suggest here is to just use the out of the box backup solution that DigitalOcean offers as you will not have to do any configuration or maintenance and you can enable it with a single click.
You can follow the steps on how to do that here:
Hope that this helps!
