How Do I Clone or Make a Copy of a Vultr Compute Instance?

Steps to Clone an Instance:

1. Create a snapshot of the source instance from the Vultr Console.

2. Deploy a new instance using the snapshot. This new instance will be an exact copy of the original at the time the snapshot was taken.

   Note

   You cannot deploy a snapshot to an instance size with a smaller disk than the original.

3. Update DNS records. The cloned instance receives a new public IP address. If you're using a domain name with the original instance, update its DNS records to point to the new IP.
