I can’t seem to ping at all.
Is there a way to create a new droplet, pull my critical data off this droplet (like mount the droplet as a drive in the new one, and then just get rid of the old droplet?
This droplet is three years old, been running Ubuntu 12, and I suspect trying to update to 16 and following some apt-get commands is what did it in, but really not sure.
Otherwise, I’ll just restore from my 8 day old backup, which was running fine, but is missing a couple days of data I’d rather not lose (but nothing super important, so it’s a 95% acceptable alternative).
Thanks.

It also appears since I created this droplet three years ago, a new “boot in recovery mode” feature has been added. I just created a new droplet from backup and see this. However, the hosed droplet doesn’t have this in the “Power” section. It just has power off and power cycle buttons.
