Droplets backups storage location

Hello @ceo287837

Full disclosure I am the founder of a backup company that specialises in DigitalOcean Backups.

DigitalOcean weekly backups are not stored in another region, you can see this if you want to restore a backup to a droplet in a second region.

With snapshots, the story is the same, however, when they are finished you are free to transfer them to a second region.

The plug: At SnapShooter we enable customers to have a copy of there snapshots moved to a second region once the backup completes. Learn More about DigitalOcean Cross-region snapshots

TLDR: No DigitalOcean does not offer this automatically unless you tell them to.

Regards

Simon Founder and CEO - SnapShooter DigitalOcean Backups
