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?

Hi DO community,
I love DO, i’ve reconstructed an exact clone of the droplet and i’ve synced it but for the love of god, when will we be able to download the entire image (even if it’s just allowed once or a month), I’m even willing to pay for downloads (be reasonable). I can only imagine the difficulties you’ll have in the beginning in terms of bandwidth with everyone download GB’s / TB’s of data but come onnnnnnnnn… please? pretty please?
I’m confused about this as well. It seems whenever I come here for answers all I find are unanswered questions.
