I am heading to retirement by the end of the year and I have been slowly off-loading clients. I’m still going to need a couple of sites on my droplet, but I’m only using an extremely low fraction of my current 160 GB droplet. I’m trying to figure out my best option for downsizing. Is it possible for me to restore a snapshot of my current droplet, and then restore it on a smaller droplet? Or would I be better off to set up the new droplet, do a WordPress install for each of my remaining sites, and then restore a WP backup from each site?
Is there another option that I’m not thinking of?
