Hi,
I am trying to upgrade my server to 40gig storage. I took a snapshot as defined here:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-resize-droplets-using-snapshots
And created a new droplet. But when I try to restore from the snapshot of my 1st droplet, I cannot access the backup image. What I get is: Currently you do not have any snapshots for this droplet to restore from.
How do I cross-access the snapshots?

Unfortunately we cannot resize the droplet for you. You can take a snapshot and keep the droplet running while you migrate the snapshot and deploy the droplet in a different datacenter.
Are you trying to bring up the new droplet in a different DC? Then you need to mark the snapshot as globally accessible, should be somewhere in the “Images” page.
I guess it’s the globe icon which says distribute to all regions. I clicked that. Now it says Initiated an image region transfer for the image. I guess it will be ok soon. Thank you
