Backup "every few days"?

Posted on June 20, 2013

Hi, now that DO is going to charge for backups, will any changes be made to the backup “every few days” policy? Frankly, it doesn’t inspire much confidence in the backup system if I don’t even know exactly when the backups will occur. I greatly prefer Linode’s multiple backup slots per day method.

Thanks for any insight you might have.

Hello, <br> <br>Currently there aren’t any plans for changing the backup frequency. However, creating a uservoice suggestion would be the best way to get this discussed on the roadmap: https://digitalocean.uservoice.com/forums/136585-digital-ocean <br> <br>Thanks
