Question
Where are snapshots and backup images saved?
- Posted November 24, 2013
Are they saved in a different location like Amazon S3 away from DO?
I am asking this because in the beginning of this year, my image was lost in DO due to server HD failure at the time, hoping that won’t happen again.
Thank you.
