Deleted something I shouldn’t have. I learned my lesson, but I had to revert to a backup that was about 3 days old. My bad.

    What I do is create a new live snapshot before doing any changes to the server. I don’t use digitalocean, but I think their snapshots cost 6 cents per GB/month, and are only charged like that if you retain them the whole month.

    If everything goes well after a change and you delete the snapshot a day or two later (or after the next backup), it’s basically free or very cheap. I think it’s just a minimum of $0.01 per snapshot.
