/backup filling up with tmp files
Posted: Sun Sep 24, 2017 3:42 pm
Hi,
My backup folder is /backup
Over the last few days, it's been filling up with tmp files, until /var/root becomes 100% full, and then all kinds of crap happens. Every time I empty it, it refills in a few hours.
Here's a directory listing:
I've stopped the backup-users cron job, but this is still happening.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
