Does a snapshot mean that you're doing native DO snapshots? The throughput for these is terrible (1-4gb/min) and also had performance implications in our past tests.
Yes, native DO snapshots are used. I tested with droplets up to 100 GB in occupied disk size and the snapshot required over 1 hour to be ready. For volumes, the time is lower.
Unfortunately, this is a limitation for most of the cloud providers.
