DigitalOcean + Schedule by Zapier

DigitalOcean + Schedule by Zapier integrations

Automatically Backup Your Digital Ocean Droplets Once a Week

Make sure you never lose anything on your Digital Ocean Droplets by automatically backing them up. Instead of having to login to your dashboard and create a snapshot manually, Zapier can do it automatically for you on a schedule.

How it Works

With this automation, you'll pick the day of the week and time you want to backup your Digital Ocean Droplet, and select the Droplet you want backed up. And then, you'll never have to worry about running a backup again.

Then, if you'd rather backup daily or monthly, you can login to your Zapier dashboard and customize the backup schedule as you want.

What You Need:

A Digital Ocean Droplet
A Zapier account

Got that? Then let's get started.
