How do I create a second server exactly like the first droplet?

Posted on August 23, 2014

Hey guys,

I want a server which automatically backups, but didn’t activate automatic backups when I first created my droplet. So I thought I’d create a new droplet based off the first one, and this time, I’d activate automatic backups.

So I created a snapshot of Droplet 1 (with fully functional webpage on it) and used it as image for the creation of Droplet 2. When I open the IP of Droplet 1 in my browser, I see the normal website, but when I open the IP of the new droplet in my browser, I only get the apache standard page.

What do I do wrong? Or is it not possible how I imagine it? Thanks.
