Hi,
I am really new to this unmanaged setup and being a noobe of Linux system, its really fragile for my setup when everything I do is new…
So before I modify anything, I prefer taking a snapshot, which acts like a fail safe restore point for me…
Now the question is, how much does snapshot costs ??
For example, if I take a snapshot and keep it for few hours till which I finish the modification and delete the snapshot if all ok ??
For this how much would I be billed ??
Thanks…

Updated on 8/16/16: I wanted to provide a quick update on this topic. Starting October 1, 2016, we will begin charging for snapshot storage at $0.05 per gigabyte per month. Just like our other features, snapshot storage uses hourly pricing. The billed size is calculated from a compressed version of the snapshot — not the total disk space allocated for your Droplet.
Is there an update on this? I see the answers above were posted in 2014. I just wanted to see if snapshots are still Free to hold on to? I have taken a snapshot of my server and would like to keep it on my account as a backup point to go back to should i need to in the future.
Do you mind updating on the status of this?
Many thanks
Hi Everyone,
