So in account control panel there is Images link on the left in menu and under that there are Snapshots and Droplet backups.
Snapshot is basically snap, clone of droplet, it should be same thing as backup, right? But if it’s a same thing as backup why there are backups than?
What’s the difference and i couldn’t find anywhere option to backup droplet, just to make snapshot.
And is it possible to download and keep one on my pc?
