    Snapshot queuing system

    Instead of shutting down your droplet to create a snapshot, you are able to apply for a snapshot window. Digital Ocean will then give you a time frame where you can quickly shutdown your droplet and an estimate of how long it would take. The sna...

    Make image ID of snapshots available from dashboard

    Using tools such as Packer and Terraform, you can create an image (as a snapshot) and deploy it. Private snapshots can only be deployed by image, not slug. This presents a problem when trying to search for an image ID to use for deployment. Make t...

    Backups and Snapshots for Custom Images

    Can't understand why this is so low on the roadmap. Let's get this feature to the top of the list? It should be enabled by default.

    Provide a way to know the source for Backups/Snapshots

    When a backup is executed, if I changed the name of droplet, after several backups/snapshots I cannot know where that snapshot/backup was taken from. Probably agood way to solve this is to add a new field to images called droplet_id (via API), in ...

    identify droplets in select menu of take a snapshot page by ip address as well as hostname

    I am constrained in my choice of hostname. To identify a droplet when making images, I need more characteristics: ip address seems to make sense, droplet size or location wouldn't be bad, but might not be unique.

    Make snapshooting/restore as effective as Linode's

    Server-level backups should be the same process as creating a snapshot. User should be able to set daily time-frame during which the backups occur. Backups should occur as server snapshots, created while the server is live. They should be stored i...
