droplet_snapshot function

Take and restore snapshots.

• snapshot: Take a snapshot of the droplet once it has been powered off, which can later be restored or used to create a new droplet from the same image.
• snapshots_list: List available snapshots
• backups_list: List available snapshots
• restore: Restore a droplet with a previous image or snapshot. This will be a mirror copy of the image or snapshot to your droplet. Be sure you have backed up any necessary information prior to restore.

droplet_snapshot(droplet, name = NULL, wait = TRUE, ...)

droplet_snapshots_list(droplet, ...)

droplet_restore(droplet, image, ...)

droplet_backups_list(droplet, ...)

Arguments

• droplet: A droplet number or the result from a call to droplets()
• name: (character) Optional. Name of the new snapshot you want to create. If not set, the snapshot name will default to the current date/time
• wait: If TRUE (default), wait until the snapshot has been completed and is ready for use. If set to FALSE we return a droplet object right away after droplet snapshot request has been sent.
• ...: Additional options passed down to POST
• image: (optional) The image ID of the backup image that you would like to restore.
