Backup/Restore Images

Backup:

I got an error with the command they suggested, and modified it to this:

  • sudo sshfs -o allow_other root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/ /mnt/droplet

...but then this didn't work:

dd if=/mnt/droplet of=tootcat2.hypertwins.net-1523357095826-abandoned
dd: error reading '/mnt/droplet': Is a directory

Restore: Possibly the "custom images" feature is the way to go?
