I personally use Digital Ocean and I always recommend them to others but I also include the warning "Don't assume your snapshots are safe". Over the course of a year, two snapshots of mine had became unusable due to some SAN related issue. It's a $5/month service so I don't make a big deal about this.
As a safety precaution, I always replicate snapshots that I care about to all their regions before I destroy a droplet. And I always tell others to do the same.
- pjbrunet 13y agoThanks for the tip. I'm concerned about this. Hopefully I can reuse a snapshot (to upgrade to bigger Droplet) without destroying the original Droplet--because if the snapshot doesn't work for some reason, I want to be able to fall back on the original working Droplet. This was so much easier on Linode.
- schneidmaster 13y agoYou can resize a droplet without destroying it. (Not sure if I'm understanding your comment correctly.)
- pjbrunet 13y agoYou might be thinking of the "fast resize" which isn't an option if your hypervisor is full.
