When logged in, if you visit
https://cloud.digitalocean.com/images#actions-destroyed
You should hopefully see an image of your recently destroyed droplet. If so, you should visit
https://cloud.digitalocean.com/droplets/new
To create a new droplet and under the ‘Select Image’ tab, click ‘Destroyed Droplets’ and select it from there.
The system should (if possible) be able to give you back the IP you previously had too (unless it has already been relocated of course).
Hey everyone!
Quick update here, great news for those who’ve been waiting for more control over Droplet backups! Starting October 23rd, 2023, DigitalOcean has revamped the backup system. Now, each backup has its own deletion date, separate from the parent Droplet. This means your backups will stick around for four weeks, regardless of what happens to the original Droplet. It’s a real game-changer, especially if you’ve ever worried about losing data due to accidental deletion or other mishaps.
You can check out the deletion dates for each backup right in the cloud console. This update gives you more freedom and less worry about protecting your data. Plus, restoring your original Droplet or creating a new one from these backups is super easy, even if the original is long gone.
Hope this makes managing your projects a bit more stress-free!
