Will stopping a sandbox discard its files?

Daytona documents different behavior by sandbox type. A standard container sandbox keeps its filesystem across stop and start. An ephemeral sandbox is deleted on stop. Choose the type deliberately and check its lifecycle settings before leaving anything in it.

What should you count and keep?

Check running resources and the cost or limits for storage in a stopped or archived workspace. Keep the approved output and the starting setup separately if the job must be repeated. Use fictional files and avoid mounting regular team folders or connecting live services to the test.

Which fictional files should survive a stop?

Draw a disposable data formatter with two invented input files and a report.

  1. Choose what to preserve
    Decide whether the demo needs to resume later or may be discarded at stop.
  2. Name the result you need
    Write what report should be saved separately and which scratch files you can leave behind.
