Or rather, turn off the server and then take the storage snapshot, which is the order you have to do it. And you have to snapshot and reincarnate just in order to attach or detach a volume, which means adding some more storage space requires several hours downtime, which is a nuisance.
Although apart from that, I have found them very good.
- gravypod 11y agoFor this usecase several hours of downtime is not much of a problem. In fact, the server will be off for more time then it's not. If you want to upgrade: wait until the backups are done and you should have 12hr till your next backup. I'd hope that's more than enough time to expand a snapshot. Also, how does pricing work for hourly servers? Is it still a quid a month?
