Server backup fails when using FTP repository

[DRY411S]

I have been routinely running successful backups to the server repository.

But when trying to backup to FTP repository the backup is failing because the root filesystem fills up. My server is not configured to use LVM so I cannot expand the filesystem.

Is it possible to tell PLESK to use a different location for the ftp repository tar files as they are being built?

Anybody help me please? I need to use ftp to get the backups off the server before it is trashed and rebuilt.
