Hi @accountsCrab,
In DigitalOcean there are two types of backups - backups and snapshots.
Backups are automatically-created disk images of Droplets. Enabling backups for Droplets enables system-level backups at weekly intervals, which provides a way to revert to an older state or create new Droplets
Snapshots are on-demand disk images of DigitalOcean Droplets and volumes saved to your account. Use them to create new Droplets and volumes with the same contents.
You can learn more about backups here:
And here is the space about snapshots:
The first point you’ve added - Servers name, I’m not sure I understand? The backups are created from your Droplet, so you should be able to see it under the Droplet.
