Vultr Snapshot backup service will be charged in October (charging standard and description)

If we are logging into the background of Vultr merchants in the past two days, you should see "Beginning on October 1st, 2021 stored snapshots will cost $0.05/GB per month. For more information, Please see our blog post.

That is to say, from next month, if snapshots are being used in our bills, we will see the start of billing. Therefore, if we are not using snapshots, we should delete them as soon as possible to avoid being charged. According to the official statement, the reason why Vultr charges snapshot fees.

Lao Zuo's VULTR account also has a snapshot, which is from last year. Please delete it immediately to avoid being charged.

1. Why

Since all snapshots are free before, many users store snapshots without using them, which takes up a lot of resources. Therefore, it is necessary to charge fees to reduce occupancy or reduce costs.

2. How to charge

Snapshots are charged according to the amount of storage, $0.05/GB per month. We need to charge according to our actual storage.

Snapshot is actually a good function. We can quickly backup and rollback data to ensure the safety of operation and maintenance. It is also a good backup method. Lao Zuo likes snapshot backup data. At the same time, if we have more snapshots, we can also contact customer service for work orders to negotiate a lower discount.

That's all.
