Question
SSH does not work for droplet created from a backup
I created a new droplet from a backup of a production server droplet in the control panel. OS is Ubuntu 16.04
I was expecting to be able to SSH to the new droplet with ssh root@<ip address>
but I get ssh: connect to host 168.71.110.191 port 22: Operation timed out
I can access the new droplet via the control panel console. When I run systemctl status ssh
I see:
ssh.service - OpenBSD Secure Shell server
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/ssh.service; enabled; vendor preset: enab
Active: inactive (dead)
Any ideas why systemd would kill the SSH service? Why would creating a droplet from a backup “break” SSH?

If it helps, here’s the output of
traceroute 168.71.110.191
Maybe there is a connection problem?
