Is there a progress indicator while a snapshot is being made?

Posted on February 11, 2015

Is there a progress indicator while a snapshot is being made? I can’t tell whether one is underway. I don’t want to start another one if one is underway but I’m sitting here wasting time if one is not underway.

There is not a progress indicator showing how far along the snapshot process is but when clicking on your droplet in the control panel, if a snapshot event is in progress there will be an indicator showing that an event is running and you will not be able to start other snapshots or take other actions with your droplet.
