I've been looking for something like this! I run Discourse on Digital Ocean. This is perfect.

So how does it compare to the default backup options on Digital Ocean? I use a different VPS provider and they provide daily backups which is good enough for non-mission critical websites. You probably need to do hourly backups for mission-critical stuff but does it interfere with the performance of the VPS?

This is a great use of their API to fill a need that DO hasn't totally solved, yet. Right now DO's backups are limited to weekly and basic retention. I imagine at some point, though, DO will likely offer something like this themselves. Perfect for now, tho.

I started using this recently. It's a great service, and Simon is very helpful!

Just thought I would give an update. We have now added support for taking snapshots of volumes as Digital Ocean are rolling support to all datacenters :)
