Heya, @sistemadatapilar

We recommend backing up and downloading your data with SnapShooter.

You can also use third-party tools like rsync or SFTP.

While DigitalOcean snapshots are great, keeping a local copy is smart! Tools like rsync can help you create backups on your own storage. Remember to backup before deleting your droplets!
