DigitalOcean does not provide a way to download a snapshot of your droplet locally. You can use rsync to accomplish this instead.

On your local machine, assuming you have added `your-server` in your SSH config:

```
rsync -aAXHv --append-verify --exclude={"/dev/*","/proc/*","/sys/*","/tmp/*","/run/*","/mnt/*","/media/*","/lost+found"} your-server:/
```

- `-a`  : archive mode (all files, with permissions, etc.)
- `-A`  : preserve ACLs/permissions (not included with -a)
- `-X`  : preserve extended attributes (not included with -a)
- `-H`  : preserve hard links (not included with -a)
- `-v`  : verbose, mention files
- `--append-verify`: if the files differ in modification or other timestamps, it will overwrite the target with the source without scrutinizing those files further
