How to change temp directory for Multivolume Backups

[Jay Versluis]

I've noticed that Plesk is using a different directory to create temp files during a multivolume FTP backup than for a non-multivolume backup. Is there a way to change the location of this directory?

For a non-multivolume backup we can edit the location in /etc/psa/psa.conf (explained here: http://wpguru.co.uk/2014/03/how-to-change-the-default-directory-for-backups-in-plesk/)

However, for multivolume backups Plesk is using /usr/local/psa/PMM/tmp - which in my case is not big enough. I couldn't find a configuration file where this location could be changed. The splitting action is called in /usr/local/psa/PMM/agents/shared/Storage/Splitter.pm

Fantastic and ingenious - bind mounting to the rescue. Just what I was looking for.

Thanks, Igor!
