How long does snapshot takes to create ?

Posted on September 15, 2014

It seems its taking well over 45 mins, still the snapshot is getting created… Its bit too longer for a production environment to stay offline…

How long does it take to create a snapshot ??

1GB droplet having around 12% of used disc ??

Server is offline for well over 45 mins as the snapshot keeps showing processing !!!

I dont even see any option to cancel the process and start the server :( any one knows how to stop the snapshot creation process so that the server can be taken back online ??
