pleskbackup fills up my /tmp directory

[panaman]

My pleskbackup is not working anymore... it fills up my /tmp directory and crashes........

my /tmp is 2GB in size....
I heard something that the new pleskbackup writes everything to /tmp before it makes the file... well that is stupid if it does that..

if this is the case is there a way to specify an alternate place for pleskbackup to dump its temporary files during the backup?

This has become a big problem for me and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas? I had a look at all the scripts and it felt like I was looping.

I have a 100G site and a 4G /tmp that is mounted no exec due to past problems on the server.

Any help would be appreciated.


Thank you,

Joshua

yeah.. big problem for me still too...
i have a 2gb /tmp on my server mounted noexec

a 2 gb tmp has been no problem in the past until now..... i have about 250 websites on this box and can't do backups because of this stupid new backup script that writes each site to /tmp first...there has to be a way to have it write to an alternate place

Anyone find a solution to this in 8.1?

I heard it's fixed in 8.2 but I don't want to attempt the upgrade.

This is a BIG problem.

seems to be solved in 8.3 as you can specify path of output file. however you can specify an ftp destination instead and in this case pleskbackup uses /tmp to build the backup first and of course /tmp fills up and the utility dies.
