Backups

DigitalOcean’s Backups service handles automated, frequent snapshots of your droplets to safeguard business data. It focuses on fast recovery points, ensuring that if a server fails or data is corrupted, you can restore to a recent state without manual intervention. This is a managed storage solution specifically for protecting infrastructure rather than general file storage.

This fits teams already running workloads on DigitalOcean droplets who need integrated disaster recovery. The main trade-off is the lack of a free tier; you pay strictly on a pay-as-you-go basis for every backup instance created. There is no trial or zero-cost entry point, so costs accrue immediately with usage, which might deter smaller projects testing the feature.
