yeah, this needs to be addressed I think. 40 minutes in and still not done.
This is really becoming a problem. I was able to copy my entire droplet to another droplet over networking in about 5 minutes. It’s been 20 minutes and I’m still waiting for a snapshot of the same droplet to finish.
Did you ever hear from DO? Same experience here, in 2019. Snapshots are like molasses.
