I got an error with the command they suggested, and modified it to this:
 
* <code>sudo sshfs -o allow_other root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/ /mnt/droplet</code>
 
<pre>
 
root@statler:/mnt# sudo sshfs -o allow_other,defer_permissions root@157.245.133.24:/ /mnt/droplet
 
fuse: unknown option `defer_permissions'
 
root@statler:/mnt# sudo sshfs -o allow_other root@157.245.133.24:/ /mnt/droplet
 
</pre>
 
 
...but then this didn't work:
 
<pre>dd if=/mnt/droplet of=tootcat2.hypertwins.net-1523357095826-abandoned
 
dd: error reading '/mnt/droplet': Is a directory</pre>

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