Hello folks, dear Atlas team,

I would like to discuss the case, where a virtual probe is decommissioned because the place where you ran it will no longer be available. For example, a VPS which you have rented somewhere, but you've decided to cancel that service.

Does it make sense to create and keep a backup of the virtual probe, so that you can re-deploy it later (with another AS)? Or is it better to delete the virtual probe and create a new one?

Also: is there an official way to decommission a virtual probe permanently?

I felt like this could be interesting for other people too, so i decided to discuss this question publicly.

BR,
Simon
