Plesk backups not being removed from /tmp

[Slavik]

As title.

Each day im havng to remove 5gb+ of "dump" tars from the /tmp directory to stop it filling up

Rather annoying.

Any suggestions?

Have you set the number of backup files that can be saved on server or ftp resp in backup settings ...
Also: what do you have for grep "dump" /etc/psa/psa.conf

The worst case senario is to create a cron that deletes those files for you automatically

DUMP_D /var/lib/psa/dumps


The dumps directory is working fine, however it just seems to not remove files from the /tmp when done.

Well, set a cron to delete those files automatically everyday say at 9AM or earlier! Do you need help with that?

If you could please

The cron-job below will execute at 8:30am on every day of every month.

Login to SHELL of your server:

crontab -e

and add the following line:

30 8 * * * /bin/rm -fdr /tmp/*

BTW: I hope by temp folder you meant /tmp/ right? if NOT then just replace that folder with the one you meant. If you still need help doing that, let me know!
