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.
