Would it be possible to access any backup or old snapshot again?

Hi,

As far as I can see in the official documentation, backups are taken once weekly for each Droplet where they’re enabled and are retained for four weeks:

So this means that if you’ve not been using your account for more than 4 weeks then your backups are not longer there.

What I could suggest is just creating a new droplet and uploading your project again.

Hope that this helps! Bobby

Hey everyone!

Quick update here, great news for those who’ve been waiting for more control over Droplet backups! Starting October 23rd, 2023, DigitalOcean has revamped the backup system. Now, each backup has its own deletion date, separate from the parent Droplet. This means your backups will stick around for four weeks, regardless of what happens to the original Droplet. It’s a real game-changer, especially if you’ve ever worried about losing data due to accidental deletion or other mishaps.

You can check out the deletion dates for each backup right in the cloud console. This update gives you more freedom and less worry about protecting your data. Plus, restoring your original Droplet or creating a new one from these backups is super easy, even if the original is long gone.

Hope this makes managing your projects a bit more stress-free!
